Top Travel Portal Development Companies in India 2026

I've been developing custom software and overseeing digital transformations for over a decade. Most notably, I’ve led development teams for major enterprise projects and helped build travel tech solutions that handle thousands of bookings.

I've also worked with dozens of travel agencies. From startups to established TMCs, to help them scale their booking engines and revenue.

It's safe to say that I've seen the codebases of almost every major travel technology provider on the market. And I'm constantly looking for the partners that can give my clients an edge in a highly competitive industry.

In this post, I'm breaking down the best travel portal development companies (across different categories) so you can pick what's best for your specific needs. I'll also include a "Time to Market" score for each company (Fast, Medium, or Long-term) to help you choose partners that match your launch timeline.

These aren't in a particular order, but they lean a bit more on the side of who offers the best code quality and support. Also, I tried to group many of the companies for logical clarity so you can easily find what you're looking for.

Don't worry, this is not a biased post by some aggregator site trying to sell you a subscription. This post is 100% written by me. I only recommend the development partners I've researched or worked with, and I will talk about what I like and don't like about each of them. No AI-generated slop, just real insights from someone who lives in this industry every single day.

What is a Travel Portal Development Company?

A travel portal development company is a technology partner that builds the software engines that power online bookings. This isn't just a simple website. This includes integrating complex APIs (like GDS, Flight, Hotel, and Car rental APIs), building booking engines, managing back-office accounting, and ensuring secure payment gateways.

These companies do different things. Some of them offer White Label solutions (ready-made templates), some specialize in Custom API Integration (connecting you to Amadeus, Sabre, or Bedbanks), and some focus purely on Custom Software Development to build a unique brand from scratch.

Some of the companies we'll go over in this post aim to do all the things I just mentioned, while some of them only do one specific thing very well. Overall, I've analyzed the top players on this list and have written a comprehensive review of the best ones below.

But my goal is to help you understand who to hire, so let's first go over what I consider to be the best options.

What do I consider the best Travel Portal Developers?

For startups with a limited budget, I generally recommend starting with White Label solutions. This includes providers like TripFro or TravelPD.

With just these turnkey solutions, you can go live really fast. In fact, many agencies start here to test the market before investing in custom IP.

From there, you want to get into the custom experience part, and the companies that I believe are the best there would be Ouranos Technologies, OneClick, or Technoheaven.

When it comes to enterprise-grade, massive infrastructure for airlines or global TMCs, the heavy hitters are Amadeus and Sabre (who provide both the data and the development tools).

Okay, no more rambling. Let's get into the list.

The best Travel Portal Development Companies I've analyzed in 2026

Here are the best development partners right now (click to jump to a specific review):

• Ouranos Technologies (Best for custom B2B/B2C portals & API integration)
• OneClick IT Consultancy (Best for OTA software)
• TripFro (Best for white label solutions)
• Technoheaven (Best for travel agents needing CRM integration)
• Amadeus (Best for enterprise airline solutions)
• Trawex (Best for GDS integration)
• Expedia Partner Solutions (Best for affiliate inventory)

Let’s go over the top picks in depth.

1. Ouranos Technologies

• Category: Custom Software & API Integration
• Best for: Businesses that want full ownership of their code
• Time to Market: Medium (Custom build)
• Pricing: Custom / Project-based

Ouranos Technologies is a powerhouse when it comes to custom software development. While many other companies on this list force you into a "rental" model where you never own the technology, Ouranos Technologies focuses on building intellectual property (IP) for the client.

How Ouranos Technologies Works:

At its core, Ouranos Technologies is a solution architect. Instead of giving you a cookie-cutter template that looks like every other travel site, they sit down and map out your specific business logic. Do you need a B2B agent dashboard? Do you need a specific mix of Hotelbeds and Amadeus APIs?

They build the booking engine from the ground up using modern stacks like Node.js, React, and Flutter (for mobile apps), ensuring that your portal is fast and scalable. They handle the messy part of API documentation so you don't have to.

Who is Ouranos Technologies for?

This company is for serious entrepreneurs and established agencies who are tired of paying monthly commissions to white-label providers. If you want to scale a brand like Expedia or Booking.com, you need your own custom backend, and that is what they specialize in.

Pros:

• You own the source code. This is huge for valuation if you ever plan to sell your company.
• They are experts in SEO-friendly architecture. Since I’m an SEO specialist, I appreciate that they build sites that Google actually likes to crawl.
• They don't just do web; they are excellent at building native mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Cons:

• Since it is custom development, it takes longer to launch than a generic white-label template.
• They are selective with their clients, focusing on businesses that actually have a plan for growth.

Ratings and reviews

• Clutch: 4.9 out of 5 stars
• Google: 5 out of 5 stars

2. OneClick IT Consultancy

• Category: OTA & Travel Technology
• Best for: Online Travel Agencies (OTAs)
• Time to Market: Medium
• Pricing: Custom Quote

OneClick is a well-known name in the travel tech space. They have been around for a while and have built a reputation for helping traditional travel agencies move online.

How OneClick Works:

OneClick offers a blend of pre-built modules and custom development. They have ready-made engines for flight booking, hotel booking, and holiday packages. You essentially pick the modules you need, and they customize the look and feel to match your brand.

Who is OneClick for?

They are a great fit for mid-sized travel agencies that have outgrown manual booking processes and need a robust system to manage bookings, cancellations, and agent commissions.

Pros:

• They have experience with almost every major GDS (Global Distribution System) like Galileo, Worldspan, and Sabre.
• They offer a "ready-to-go" feeling but with more customization than a basic template.

Cons:

• Their UI/UX designs can sometimes feel a bit "corporate" and traditional, rather than modern and consumer-facing.
• Support response times can vary depending on your time zone.

Ratings and reviews:

• Clutch: 4.7 out of 5 stars
• GoodFirms: 4.8 out of 5 stars

3. TripFro

• Category: White Label Solutions
• Best for: Speed to market
• Time to Market: Fast (Beginner friendly)
• Pricing: Subscription / License fee models

TripFro is often the first name people hear when they search for "start a travel business." They specialize in White Label solutions, which means they give you a fully functional website that is already connected to suppliers.

How TripFro Works:

You don't need to hire developers or know what an API is. You pay TripFro, and they give you a website with your logo on it. The inventory (flights, hotels) is usually aggregated from their own connections or standard GDS partners. It’s a "business in a box" model.

Who is TripFro for?

This is strictly for beginners or solo agents who want to start selling travel tomorrow and don't have the budget ($10k+) for custom development.

Pros:

• Extremely fast deployment. You can be live in a week.
• Low initial barrier to entry compared to custom dev.
• They handle the technical maintenance.

Cons:

• You do not own the code. If you stop paying, your business disappears.
• customization is very limited. Your site will look very similar to hundreds of other TripFro clients.
• Scaling is hard because you are locked into their ecosystem.

4. Amadeus

• Category: Enterprise GDS & IT
• Best for: Large Airlines and Global TMCs
• Time to Market: Long (Enterprise)
• Pricing: Expensive / Transaction-based

If Ouranos Technologies is the agile speed boat, Amadeus is the Aircraft Carrier. They are one of the "Big Three" GDS providers in the world.

How Amadeus Works:

Amadeus isn't just a developer; they are the data source. However, they also offer "Amadeus for Developers" and enterprise IT solutions where they will build out massive infrastructure for airlines and global travel management companies.

Who is Amadeus for?

This is not for startups. This is for massive organizations processing millions of dollars in bookings who need direct access to the metal.

Pros:

• Unrivaled access to global inventory.
• Extremely stable and secure.
• The industry standard for ticketing.

Cons:

• Extremely expensive and bureaucratic to work with.
• The technology is powerful but can be legacy-heavy and difficult to integrate for modern developers.

5. Technoheaven

• Category: Travel Tech & CRM
• Best for: Agencies needing strong back-office support
• Time to Market: Medium
• Pricing: Custom

Technoheaven is another solid contender based in the UAE/India corridor. They focus heavily on the operational side of the travel business.

How Technoheaven Works:

They build travel portals, but their secret sauce is their integration with back-office and CRM systems. They help agents not just take bookings, but manage the customer relationship after the booking is made.

Who is Technoheaven for?

They are great for DMCs (Destination Management Companies) who manage tours and excursions and need a system to handle complex itineraries, not just simple A-to-B flights.

Pros:

• Strong functionality for inbound tour operators.
• Good pricing for the features provided.

Cons:

• Design quality is hit or miss; you might need to push them for a modern look.
• Documentation for their systems can sometimes be sparse.

6. Trawex

• Category: GDS Integration Specialist
• Best for: Flight booking engines
• Time to Market: Medium
• Pricing: Custom

Trawex has been in the game for over a decade. They are very similar to TripFro but tend to lean a bit more towards the technical integration side of flight booking engines.

How Trawex Works:

They provide a suite of travel software solutions, including flight booking engines, hotel booking engines, and car rental systems. They are particularly known for their ability to aggregate data from multiple GDS systems into one view.

Who is Trawex for?

Agencies that focus heavily on flight ticketing and need a reliable engine to compare fares from Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport simultaneously.

Pros:

• Deep understanding of airline ticketing logic.
• Awards and recognition in the travel tech space.

Cons:

• Sales process can be aggressive.
• Post-launch support costs can add up.

7. Expedia Partner Solutions (EPS)

• Category: Affiliate & API Inventory
• Best for: Accessing hotel inventory
• Time to Market: Fast to Medium
• Pricing: Commission split

Expedia isn't a "dev shop" in the traditional sense, but their Partner Solutions (EPS) program is a critical tool for developers.

How EPS Works:

You use their API (Rapid API) to pull in Expedia's massive inventory of hotels and accommodations onto your own website. You don't build the inventory; you just display it and take a cut.

Who is EPS for?

Developers and agencies who have a great front-end or a unique marketing angle but don't want to negotiate contracts with 50,000 individual hotels.

Pros:

• Instantly gives you credibility with massive inventory.
• Great API documentation.

Cons:

• Margins are lower because Expedia takes a big chunk.
• You don't own the customer relationship as fully as you would with direct contracts.

Is building a Custom Travel Portal still worth it?

Building a custom travel portal is worth it in 2026, however, you cannot approach it the same way as before. What I've noticed is that the portals that get the most traction are the ones that solve a specific niche problem (like "Corporate travel for startups" or "Luxury retreats for yoga") rather than just trying to be another generic "Book Flights" website.

Take my clients for example. The ones outperforming the giants like Booking.com are doing so because they own their code, they own their data, and they offer a hyper-personalized experience that a white-label template just can't provide.

So custom development is 100% worth it. Don't let people screaming on social media tell you that you can just slap a WordPress plugin on a site and become a millionaire. Those people are likely following an old playbook.

If you want to win at the travel game in 2026, it's not necessarily based on how many APIs you have, but it's based on your User Experience and your SEO architecture.

If you have those two elements in place—and a partner like Ouranos Technologies or OneClick to build the foundation—you will win. Just change your frame of thinking from "I want a website" to "I want a digital asset."

I hope you learned something from this article, and I'll catch you in the next one.
