The family planning Ooty in April decides on Wednesday.
For tour operators, package agents and vehicle hire firms in Coimbatore. One page with each package written out day by day, what the rate includes and excludes, and a photograph of the actual vehicle — with dates asked for on WhatsApp.
FUEiNT is a web and software company in Coimbatore, India, that builds single-page websites for tour operators and travel agencies, setting packages day by day with inclusions, and enquiries arriving on WhatsApp.
Season, dates, and who is in the car
Travel enquiries arrive in blocks: the hills from April to June, Kerala after the monsoon, and a scramble in the last fortnight of December. Wedding parties and temple groups sit outside that and book by vehicle rather than by package. The family planning an Ooty trip is arguing at the dinner table with a phone in hand, and what settles the argument is the itinerary written day by day, a clear line on what the rate covers — stay, breakfast, permits, driver batta, tolls — and a photograph of your own tempo traveller. Packages published as a poster nobody can read on a phone lose all of these.
Everything a customer checks, in one screen.
Day one, day two, where they stay and what they see — as text, not a poster image, so it can be read and forwarded to the family.
Stay, breakfast, permits, driver batta, tolls and parking, each marked in or out. Almost every dispute on a trip starts with one being assumed.
Your own tempo traveller or car, with seating and luggage space stated. A family of nine needs to know before the morning of departure, not on it.
When the hills fill up, when Kerala is worth it, and the point past which a December date cannot be held. Advice that earns trust and books earlier.
How a package differs for four people against fourteen — vehicle, rooms, and whether it becomes vehicle hire instead. Stated rather than negotiated twice.
One tap and the traveller sends the package name, their dates and the headcount. You reply with availability instead of taking it down by phone.
What the operator sends us
- Each package with its day-by-day plan
- Inclusion and exclusion list per package
- Photographs of your own vehicles, with seating
- How rates are set — per head or per vehicle
- Permit, driver and toll policy in writing
- The WhatsApp number enquiries should reach
Send one WhatsApp with the packages you run and whether vehicle hire is a separate business for you. That decides how the page is divided up.
Packages written out day by day as readable text, inclusions and exclusions marked, and your own vehicle photographs used instead of stock hill station pictures.
Enquiries arrive on WhatsApp carrying the package, the dates and the headcount. There is no dashboard and no login, and nothing to check but the app you use.
Cost depends on how many packages are written out and whether vehicle hire is handled separately. Ask on WhatsApp.
Andaman Guru — packages the operator’s own team edits
An island holiday operator whose packages, pricing and enquiry routing are run by their own staff, with payments built for Indian and overseas travellers. Larger than a TICS page, and built on the same principle.

How much does a website for tour operators and travel agencies cost?
It follows the number of packages. Four hill packages written day by day is a modest page; twenty destinations plus a separate vehicle hire business is a larger one. Send us the package names on WhatsApp and we will price against that list rather than a standard rate.
How do customers reach me?
On WhatsApp, with the package, the dates and the headcount already in the message. That is roughly half of a quote done before you have replied, and it means an enquiry at eleven at night is still readable at eight in the morning.
Our rates change with the season. Should they be on the page?
Publish the basis rather than the figure — per head or per vehicle, what is included, and that the rate depends on the season and the dates. That is honest, it does not go stale, and it still filters out people whose expectations were never going to match.
We mostly do vehicle hire, not packages. Does that work?
It works better, in some ways. A vehicle hire page is built around the vehicles themselves — seating, luggage, photographs, driver arrangement and how the hire is charged — with packages, if you run any, kept to a smaller section beneath them.
Can travellers send their dates without calling?
That is the whole design of the WhatsApp button. The prefill already names the package, so the traveller adds only their dates and how many people. You reply with availability and a rate, and nobody has spelled out an itinerary over a bad line.

Your first message is already typed.
Write the itinerary where they can read it.
Send us the packages you run and the vehicles you own. We will tell you what the page would carry and what it costs, on WhatsApp.
