Five questions to ask in every demo

  1. Show me a live Facebook lead arriving and being assigned.
  2. Build a 5-day Kerala itinerary with prices and send it to WhatsApp. How long did it take?
  3. What will year one cost for a 7-person team, in writing?
  4. How do I export all my data if I leave?
  5. Who answers support on a weekend in peak season?

The best travel CRM is the one your team still opens every morning three months from now. Shortlist two, ask these questions, then trial with real leads for a week.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the best travel CRM in India?

For most Indian travel agencies, tour operators and DMCs, a travel-specific CRM such as TripClap CRM, Sembark or CRMtravel is better than a generic CRM, because itineraries, vouchers, GST invoices and WhatsApp work without customisation.

How much does a travel CRM cost in India?

From free (Zoho CRM and HubSpot free plans) to ₹800–₹2,600 per user per month (Zoho paid), ₹799 per user per month (telecrm), or ₹14,999–₹24,999 a year flat per agency (TripClap CRM). Sembark, CRMtravel and LeadSquared are quote-based.

Is Zoho CRM good for travel agencies?

It's a strong general CRM and affordable in India, but it isn't travel-ready out of the box.

Should I choose a travel-specific or a generic CRM?

Travel-specific CRMs save time on quotes and operations. A generic CRM can be enough if your sales are mostly phone calls and you don't need itineraries or vouchers.

Which travel CRMs integrate with WhatsApp?

TripClap CRM (Enterprise Elite), telecrm, Sembark (add-on), CRMtravel and HubSpot (higher tiers).

Which travel CRMs have a free trial?

TripClap CRM (7 days, no card) and Travefy (10 days). Zoho CRM and HubSpot have free plans. Sembark, CRMtravel and LeadSquared are demo-led.
