How to Create Stunning Travel Quotes That Win More Bookings
Learn the proven formula for creating travel quotes that convert. Discover what to include, how to present them professionally, and how tools like LeadsFollow help you send winning proposals in minutes.
Sending a quote shouldn’t be the end of your sales process — it should be the start.
But here’s what most travel agents get wrong: they send quotes that look like invoices instead of invitations. Dry, text-heavy, and forgettable.
The result? Clients see a price, compare it to Google, and move on.
Want to change that? Here’s how to create travel quotes that don’t just inform — they inspire bookings.
What Makes a Quote Actually Win Bookings
Visual Appeal (Not Just Text)
Clients can’t visualize their trip from a paragraph. Include images, destination photos, or interactive elements that help them see themselves there.
Clear Value Proposition
Don’t just list prices. Explain what makes this trip special — unique experiences, exclusive perks, or insider knowledge only you can provide.
Easy-to-Understand Structure
Break down costs clearly: airfare, accommodations, activities, taxes. Clients want transparency, not surprises.
Urgency or Scarcity (When Appropriate)
If deals expire or rooms are limited, mention it. But use this sparingly and honestly.
Personalization
Address the client by name. Reference their specific interests or preferences. Show you’ve been paying attention.
A Clear Next Step
Don’t leave clients wondering what to do. Include a booking button, response deadline, or call-to-action.

📧 How to Deliver Quotes That Get Responses
Timing Matters: Send quotes within 24 hours of the inquiry — while the client is still excited and engaged.
Follow Up Strategically:
- Day 1: Send the quote
- Day 3: Check if they have questions
- Day 7: Offer to adjust or provide alternatives
- Day 14: Final check-in before moving on
Make It Easy to Respond: Include multiple ways to book: email, phone, booking link, or calendar scheduler.
Track Engagement: Use a system that shows when quotes are opened, how long they’re viewed, and which sections get the most attention.
LeadsFollow tracks all of this automatically — so you know exactly when to follow up.
