My Questions for You
Does something like this exist in the US travel agency market? I've found consumer-facing tools (Scott's Cheap Flights, Going, etc.) but nothing B2B focused on agencies.
Is the agency model even relevant in the US anymore? Or have OTAs completely taken over?
If you were a small/mid-size travel agency, would this be valuable? What would make you say "yes" or "nope"?
I'm asking because we're considering expanding to US agencies but want to validate if there's a market fit before building for that geography.
I'm not trying to sell you anything with this post - just looking for genuine feedback from people who know the US travel industry better than I do.
Thanks for reading! π
Would you like me to look at it? I can cover the US market VERY efficiently.
