Who runs a B2B travel portal
Wholesalers, consolidators, DMCs and large agencies run B2B portals so that thousands of smaller agents can book their inventory without phoning or emailing. The portal owner earns a margin on every booking; the agents add their own markup when they resell to travellers.
Core features
- Agent onboarding and approval, with KYC documents where required.
- Agent-wise and group-wise markups, discounts and commissions.
- Credit limits, deposits and top-ups, with automatic blocking when credit runs out.
- Sub-agent hierarchies, so a master agent can manage their own network.
- Booking history, invoices and statements per agent.
- White-label options so each agent can sell under their own brand.
B2B portal versus B2C website
A B2C website shows retail prices to anyone. A B2B portal shows net prices only after login, and its value lies in the commercial controls — who sees which rate, who may book on credit, and how margins flow up and down the agent chain.
Example
A hotel wholesaler in India gives 2,000 agents logins to its portal. Gold-tier agents see a 3% discount, the rest see standard net rates, and each agent books against a credit limit that is settled every fortnight.

What is the difference between a B2B portal and a white-label portal?
A B2B portal is where agents book. A white-label portal is a branded copy of a booking site that an agent runs under their own name and domain, powered by someone else’s inventory and technology.
Can one platform run both B2B and B2C?
Yes. Most modern booking engines serve a B2B agent portal and a B2C website from the same inventory, with different prices and rules for each channel.
