Hunza 5-day departure this Sunday from Faizabad — two seats left. Coaster, hotels, breakfast and dinner included. Reply HUNZA and we will send the itinerary and booking details.
WhatsApp marketing
We set up WhatsApp Business as the booking desk it already is: a catalogue holding every tour and Umrah package, saved replies for fares, baggage and itineraries, labels from enquiry to paid, and opt-in broadcasts for seat availability and fare drops. The aim is answering 'price kya hai' first and well, because in ticketing speed wins.
On the Business bundle package, from PKR 25,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
Travel enquiries in Pakistan arrive on WhatsApp and are lost on WhatsApp. A traveller messages three agencies asking the lowest fare to Dubai for Eid, and books with whoever replies sensibly first. Tours follow the same pattern with more questions: pickup point, hotel category, what is included. Saved replies and a clear catalogue cut response time without making answers robotic. Broadcasts matter too: 'two seats left on Sunday's Hunza departure', sent to opted-in past travellers, fills seats that ads would struggle to fill in time.
The work

A fare quick reply
Thank you for asking. To quote the best fare please share your travel dates, one-way or return, the number of passengers, and whether your dates can move by a day or two.
As the main booking channel. Customers in Islamabad and Rawalpindi ask fares, compare packages and send payment proofs over WhatsApp. Agencies using catalogues, saved replies, labels and opt-in broadcasts answer faster and lose fewer bookings than those typing every reply from scratch on a personal number.
Broadcast to past travellers who opted in, segmented by the trips they took or asked about. A short message naming the departure, seats left and inclusions, sent a few days ahead, often reaches people faster than an ad. Pair it with an Instagram story the same day.

These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usOn the Business app, a few linked devices can share one number. For larger desks handling ticketing and tours together, the WhatsApp Business API with a shared inbox is worth considering, and we explain its costs and trade-offs first.
Yes, to people who have saved your number and agreed to receive updates. Sending offers to strangers or bought lists breaks WhatsApp's policies and can get the number banned in peak season.
