Travel Agent Custom Trip Inquiry Form — example splitforms template with submissions inbox
§ 01Why it mattersthe qualifying-fields argument

Travel agents — once written off in the OTA era — are back as custom-trip planners for travelers tired of Booking.com decision fatigue. Most agents charge $200-500 planning fees plus commission from suppliers (5-15% of trip cost). Trip values run $5k-50k for couples / families and into six figures for luxury / honeymoon / safari. The inquiry form captures destination (or 'help me decide'), travel dates / window, traveler count and ages, budget range, and trip style (adventure / culture / luxury / family / honeymoon). Agents review the inquiry, scope a rough proposal, then book a discovery call to refine. Webhook into TravelJoy / Tres / Tern (the modern agent CRMs) so the lead lands ready for itinerary work.

§ 03Three steps3 steps · ~60 seconds

Generate, embed, receive.

Three actions stand between you and your first lead. None of them require a backend, a database, or a CAPTCHA library.

STEP 01GENERATE

Capture destination and dates

Required: destination (or 'help me decide'), travel date window, traveler count, traveler ages (matters for room configurations), trip purpose (vacation / honeymoon / family / business).

Create your form
key=sk_live_••••••••
STEP 02EMBED

Qualify on budget and style

Budget range ($3-7k / $7-15k / $15-30k / $30k+) and trip style (adventure / culture / luxury / family / beach / safari / bucket list). Both shape the proposal radically; capture upfront, not on call 3.

STEP 03RECEIVE

Send the discovery booking

Auto-respond with a 30-min discovery call link plus the agent's planning-fee disclosure ($200-500, credited toward booking if they proceed). Filters serious clients from research-phase tire-kickers.

§ 06FAQ4 answered

Things people ask before they ship.

Direct answers, no marketing fluff. Missing one? Email hello@splitforms.com.

01Should I charge a planning fee on the form?
Most modern agents charge $200-500 upfront, credited toward the trip if booked. The fee filters serious clients and compensates planning time even if the prospect ends up not booking. Disclose the fee in the auto-responder, not on the form itself — fees on the form drop submissions but feel honest after.
02Can I integrate with TravelJoy / Tres / Tern / Axus?
Yes — webhook the JSON. TravelJoy and Tres are the dominant CRMs for custom-trip agents; both accept inbound leads via Zapier. Tern and Axus support webhooks too. The lead lands as a project ready for itinerary building and supplier outreach.
03What about commission disclosure / IATA requirements?
Disclosure of supplier commissions is best practice (some states require it for in-state clients). Add a 'how I'm compensated' page linked from the form footer. ARC / IATA accreditation matters for international air booking; the form copy should mention credentials when targeting luxury or complex itineraries.
04How do I handle 'help me decide where to go' inquiries?
Make destination optional with a 'I need help choosing' option. Open-ended destination requests are higher-intent (the prospect trusts the agent to plan everything) but require longer discovery — these get a 60-min call slot instead of 30. Worth the extra time; close rate is higher and trip value usually larger.
