Why I built TravelBuilderPro
It started with a simple problem.
Building a tailor-made trip took hours.
I saw it firsthand while working with DMCs and travel businesses.
A request would come in.
An itinerary would be built in Word, turned into a PDF, sent to the client,
revised, and sent again.
The trip was changing.
The client was changing.
But the tools weren’t.
And it wasn’t just itineraries.
- Client information was scattered.
- Teams were working across different tools.
- Business owners had little visibility into sales and margins.
I kept thinking:
There has to be a better way.
I built it once.
My background is in marketing and tourism business management. I spent years working as a consultant with DMCs and travel businesses, helping them acquire clients and grow.
So in 2018, I built TravelMakerPro.
The idea was simple:
Make it easier to create and manage tailor-made trips.
I launched it.
Found users.
Listened.
Built.
Improved.
Then COVID happened.
International travel stopped.
TravelMakerPro stopped too.
I was back to zero.
But the problem was still there.
When travel came back, agencies were still spending hours building proposals.
- Still jumping between tools.
- Still searching through emails.
- Still rebuilding work they had already done.
- And business owners still lacked visibility into the business.
The idea wasn’t wrong.
It just wasn’t finished.
So I started again.
This time, properly.
What should be easier?
- Creating a proposal should take minutes, not hours.
- Client follow-ups should be easy to find, not buried in emails.
- Work your team has already done should be reusable.
- Business owners should know what they’re selling, what they’re earning, and where they’re going.
Your tools should make all of this easier. Not harder.
That’s what I’m building TravelBuilderPro around.
Built for travel businesses.
Every client is different.
Every trip is different.
Every agency works differently.
TravelBuilderPro isn’t about forcing agencies into another generic system.
It’s about giving them better tools to:
- Save time.
- Stay organized.
- Sell better.
- Grow with more control.
Starting again, with a bigger vision.
TravelBuilderPro is everything I learned from building the first version.
From customers.
From mistakes.
From stopping.
From starting again.
The technology is better.
The product is broader.
The vision is bigger.
But the reason is still simple:
Give travel professionals more time to focus on their clients, their trips, and their business — and less time fighting their tools.
Make every trip easier to sell.
Create better proposals, keep your team aligned, and grow your agency — all in one place.
