AI receptionist for small business: calls, bookings and handoffs
What an AI receptionist does on a real call, the rules that apply, a sample greeting and a pass/fail checklist to launch one safely.
Travel enquiries on WhatsApp turned into qualified quote requests at any hour, with a consultant stepping in to close.
Travelers ask about trips late at night in their own time zone, and by morning they may have booked with someone faster. WhatsApp AI Sales Agent for Travel & Tourism replies at any hour, gathers dates, group size, budget and destination, suggests packages from your own offer and hands a complete quote request to a consultant. Pricing and final quotes stay with your team.

WhatsApp AI Sales Agent for Travel & Tourism handles the enquiry-to-quote stage on WhatsApp, whatever the traveler's time zone. It collects dates, group size, budget and destination, suggests packages from your own offer, prepares the quote request for a consultant, and later sends pre-trip reminders and review requests through approved templates.
Travel enquiries come in across time zones, and the agency that answers first often wins the booking. Consultants lose hours collecting the same basic details before they can quote. This edition handles that first conversation at any hour, from your own packages, and passes consultants a complete request ready to price. Quotes go out faster and your team spends time selling trips, not chasing dates. The Scope Card fixes the number, the flows, the templates, the connected systems and the forty test conversations before you buy, so it never quotes a price you did not supply.
The agent handles the enquiry-to-quote stage on WhatsApp whatever the traveler's time zone. Nobody waits until your office opens to start planning their trip. Details are captured while the traveler is keen.
The agent collects dates, group size, budget and destination in the chat. It prepares a quote request so the consultant starts with everything they need.
Packages are suggested from your own offer, based on what the traveler has said. Suggestions stay within the products you supply in your documents or catalog.
Approved templates send pre-trip reminders and review requests at the right moments. Up to five templates are submitted for Meta approval as part of the build.
Your portal lists these the moment you order. Delivery starts the working day after everything is in and your access is checked.
| Option | Delivery time | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 20–30 working days | $3,500 |
| Express | 15–25 working days | $4,100 |
| Rush | 10–20 working days | $4,750 |
Before you start: Record a month of WhatsApp enquiries, quotes sent and bookings made. Note how long quotes take and when enquiries arrive.
These are things to track, not promised results. Outcomes depend on your data, your team and your market.
The build fee is paid once. In your own accounts you then pay Meta's WhatsApp conversation fees and roughly $30 to $150 a month for AI usage and hosting. Booking engine and CRM subscriptions stay as they are.
Testing usage during the build is billed to your accounts as well.
Ask about running costsReplies in a second language for international travelers, a third connected system, or a second WhatsApp number per market sits outside this Scope Card. Request them in a checkout note and a written Change Quote follows.

How maintenance works| Do it yourself with a SaaS tool | Hire a custom agency | Upmark Labs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | A travel chat platform charges monthly per agent | An outsourced overnight desk charges for every shift of cover | Ours is one fixed price, shown on this page before you buy |
| Time zones | A chat inbox waits for someone to log in | Cover depends on staffed shifts | Ours replies whenever the traveler writes |
| Quote readiness | A generic bot collects a name and email | Depends on the operator's checklist | Ours gathers dates, group, budget and trip type before handoff |
| Delivery | A platform needs weeks of flow building | Usually weeks to hire and train | Ours has a fixed delivery time shown before you buy, with faster options |
No. It gathers the details and suggests packages from your offer, then passes a complete enquiry to a consultant who confirms the quote and closes the booking. It never states a price you have not supplied. That keeps pricing decisions, availability checks and supplier rules with your team.
Yes. It replies whenever a traveler writes, whatever their time zone, within Meta's 24-hour window for free-form messages. Enquiries collected overnight are logged in your CRM or reservation system, so consultants start the day with complete requests rather than unanswered chats.
The chat goes straight to a person. Disruption handling is part of the Travel & Tourism template, but in this sales build it means recognizing the problem and routing it fast, not rebooking. AI Travel Rebooking Agent, $6,900, finds rebooking options when trips are disrupted.
Each delivery speed has a fixed price and timeline, both listed in the price and delivery panel on this page, so you can pick one that lands before your busy season. Every speed includes one WhatsApp number, two connected systems, five flows, five templates, forty test conversations, two rounds of changes and thirty days of support.
One language is included as standard. The Additional Language Pack, $1,500, adds a second with glossary and testing, and the Localization QA Pass, $1,500, checks the translated output in full. If most of your support is multilingual, AI Multilingual Support for Travel & Tourism is worth comparing.
Two items, both paid from your own accounts: Meta's WhatsApp conversation fees, and roughly $30 to $150 a month for AI usage and hosting. Busy seasons push usage up and quiet months bring it down. We charge nothing per conversation, and monthly maintenance is optional.
