Actually we don’t charge fortune, we charge Travel company small fee of 10 cent every time a travel agent submits a quote.

What are benefits of this?

Quality of data.
we are looking for quality data. Although at this point of time I just have two travel agents on board [I am intentionally delaying more agents to come on board, I will talk about this in some other post],  but eventually we will have couple of agents from several regions in USA. These agents would be reliable people to deal with, one who gives good price for your tickets.

Works for everyone
People who are submiting Trip requests to gather quotes their contact details are only shared with Travel agents who are interested in selling that ticket.

Branding of Travel Agency
Staying active on website by submitting quotes for trip requests helps you get in touch with person who is looking to buy tickets, at the same time brings you in front of people [ and search engine, these

Advertisement sucks!
I am an engineer. Ask me to write a complex program, I will be more then happy to take a cup of coffee and get to work on my laptop. I love my job. Who the hell wants to call travel agents and ask them to get on board on some new website? Wait a minute I have got one easier option, let me register on google adsense and start flashing those advertisements on my website. I have done this in past and it has paid very well. However I don’t want to show advertisements this time for one important reason. The usual principle is get lot of users by attracting to your website, show them add, make users click on some of the ads, make money. So you put efforts in bringing users and then try to change their focus from your product (website) to all 1000s of ads [including ads of how to improve your sex life, loose 10 pounds and win ipod since you were luckiest 100000th visitor].  No advertisements.
