Do you want to develop your own OTA (Online Travel Agency)? But do not have IATA accreditation for providing flight search and bookings to your customers and sub agents.

It’s true that IATA accreditation greatly simplifies the business relationship between travel agents and airlines and currently some 60,000 IATA travel agents worldwide benefit from IATA accreditation, selling US$220 billion worth of airline tickets on behalf of some 250 IATA airline members. The only drawback is the budget and time involved in getting the accreditation, apparently the profit margins against every bookings are not huge which will give you huge returns until and unless you make sure that you have large number of customers who are looking for flight reservation system form you. Even though most airlines no longer give commission on airfare still integrating API for flight reservation system has become important for travel agents so that they can bundle the air along with the travel package what they offer to their clients. Most of the travelers look for one stop shop to manage all their travel bookings starting from flight bookings, hotel reservations to visa, forex, insurance and everything, that is why enabling flight search and bookings have become important for every Non IATA agents also. Huge commissions are generated when they sell all the travel services to an agent or customer in one go.
