The most complete and easy to use Travel Agency platform on WordPress platform.

danielpetrescu November 15, 2024 1 reply

After searching the internet far and wide I finally found a good working, decently priced solution for my travel agency website. WP Travel Engine is a complex system and at first can be a bit intimidating but after you start exploring and get familiarized with it you are in for a treat. The coding is great and the website is loading super fast even if it uses 10+ plugins active. One thing that stands out for me and it made my life much easier is the customer support… they answer super fast, solve the problems in minutes sometimes, are very helpful and understanding. Sagar is great with the coding and fixing and wish all the tech support could be like that. On the back end the plugin lacks a bit for my requirements when it comes with customer communication and the management of resources but after putting in a request the team revealed to me that most of these issues will be fixed in a future update that is in the works. I can’t wait to see what the future brings. In a nutshell… highly recommended.
