The Transport Gap Most Travel Agencies Miss
Many travel agencies sell flights, hotels, tours and transfers, but often miss ferry bookings. Ferries are essential for island destinations, coastal routes, holiday packages, domestic tourism, regional travel and multi-destination trips.
The PHPTRAVELS Ferries module helps travel agencies offer ferry ticket booking services through their own travel website. With Kikoto integration, agencies can expand their travel inventory and provide customers with more transportation options beyond flights, hotels and transfers.
Why Ferry Booking Matters for Travel Agencies
Ferries fill a transportation gap that flights and road transport alone often cannot cover.

A More Complete Experience

PHPTRAVELS + Kikoto Ferries Integration
PHPTRAVELS is integrated with Kikoto to help travel businesses offer ferry booking services online. This allows agencies to add ferry routes and sea transportation products to their travel platform, giving customers more ways to plan and book their journey.
The integration works through ready API integrations, so agencies don't need to build ferry connectivity from scratch the Ferries module handles route search, comparison and booking on top of Kikoto's inventory.
Who Can Use This Solution
Ferry booking fits naturally into any travel business that already sells trips, packages, or runs inventory through a B2B travel portal or a white label travel portal.

Can agencies bundle ferries with hotels, tours and transfers? expand_more
Yes. Ferry tickets can be bundled with hotels, tours, transfers and holiday packages, so agencies can sell a complete multi-destination trip rather than a single ferry ticket.
Is ferry booking suitable for B2B agents and white label portals? expand_more
Yes. Ferry tickets can be offered to B2B agents and through white label travel portals, so agent networks and partner sites can resell ferry routes alongside their own bookings.
Which types of ferry routes are supported? expand_more
Coverage includes island-to-island routes, mainland-to-island routes, domestic ferry routes and regional ferry routes, depending on destination and operator availability through Kikoto.
How does ferry booking increase revenue for a travel agency? expand_more
Ferry tickets are a transportation product most island and coastal travelers already need. Selling them directly increases booking value per customer and keeps that revenue inside the agency instead of a separate ferry operator's website.
