What changes when it is travel & tourism

The difference between a WhatsApp broadcast and a WhatsApp business is whether the conversation can complete a transaction. We build the catalogue, cart and payment path, not just the messaging.

In travel & tourism, travellers need answers instantly, in their language, at any hour. That single fact reshapes how whatsapp bot development has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is disruption rebooking, usually integrated against GDS. We build the smallest thing that proves the case, put it in front of real users, and expand only what earns its keep.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector

Can it handle booking changes?

Yes, with integration into your booking systems and clear approval limits on anything with a financial consequence.

What about disruptions?

Proactive notification and rebooking options are the highest-value automation in travel. It is precisely when volume spikes and human capacity does not.

Do you use the official API?

Always. Unofficial WhatsApp libraries get business numbers banned permanently, and there is no appeal worth relying on. We onboard you properly through the Business API.

How long does onboarding take?

Typically one to two weeks including business verification and display-name approval, assuming your documentation is in order. We handle the submissions.

Can it take payments?

Yes, catalogue, cart and payment collection through supported Indian payment providers, inside the conversation.
