The lead that quietly goes cold
Someone sees a Cancun package on your Instagram and messages your agency on WhatsApp, Sunday at 10 p.m.: "How much for two people in July?". Nobody answers until Monday mid-morning. By then they have asked three other agencies and booked with the first one that replied.
For travel agencies the problem is rarely a shortage of leads. It is follow-up. Inquiries arrive from social media, referrals and ads, and most of them go cold because the team is busy helping the people who are already about to pay. Today's curious browser becomes tomorrow's lost sale.
At Catalizadora we build AI agents that close that leak. This is not a menu-driven chatbot. It is an agent that talks in your agency's voice, replies instantly at any hour, qualifies the lead, and walks them all the way to a booked call or a confirmed reservation.
What the agent does with every inquiry
When someone writes in, the agent does not just answer the question. It does the work your best salesperson would do on a good day:
It replies instantly, around the clock
The first reply lands in seconds, whether it is 3 p.m. or 2 a.m. That speed is the difference between the sale and the "let me think about it." The lead feels the agency is paying attention, and that builds trust before price even comes up.
It qualifies before passing the lead on
The agent asks what matters: destination, tentative dates, number of travelers, rough budget, whether kids are coming. It tells apart the person who wants to leave next weekend from the one daydreaming about next year. Your team stops burning hours on tire-kickers and only steps into conversations worth having.
It follows up without anyone having to remember
This is the part no human team sustains. The lead who said "let me check with my partner" gets a message two days later, in the brand voice, picking up exactly where they left off. The one who asked for a quote and went quiet gets a warm nudge, not a pushy one. Follow-up stops depending on someone's memory.
It books the call or appointment
When the lead is ready, the agent offers time slots and books straight into the advisor's calendar. No back-and-forth of "what time works for you?". The meeting is confirmed inside the same conversation.
Everything lands in the CRM, organized
Every conversation is logged in your CRM: who asked, which destination, what stage they are in, what was promised. Your team opens the dashboard and sees the full funnel without rebuilding anything from screenshots or scattered notes. Whoever picks up the case already knows everything that was discussed.
This changes how the agency works. Instead of chasing messages across five different phones, there is one place where each lead lives, from the first inquiry to the sale. When an advisor goes on vacation, another picks up their leads without losing context. When the owner wants to know how many quotes are open and for how much, they see it on screen, not in a hand-built spreadsheet. The knowledge stops living in each salesperson's head and becomes the agency's.
An honest cost comparison
Hiring a dedicated person to answer and follow up on WhatsApp costs, in many LATAM markets, between 600 and 1,000 dollars a month, works eight hours, and takes weekends off, which is exactly when travel inquiries come in.
Our entry package, MAGIA Solo, costs 4,500 dollars one time and ships in 15 days. It includes the AI agent, the CRM, and the full infrastructure. After that you only pay the real running cost, around 200 to 400 dollars a month in hosting and usage, with no markup from us. There are no retainers and no locked-in licenses.
The agent does not rest, does not go on vacation, and handles a hundred conversations at once with the same quality. The math makes itself.
And there is a cost almost no one measures: the sales that never close because follow-up falls apart. A mid-sized agency might get forty inquiries in a month and truly follow up on only fifteen. The other twenty-five are not lost for lack of interest, they are lost for lack of time. The agent handles all forty with the same care, and that does not compare to one person's salary, it compares to the sales you were leaving on the table.
The code is yours
One thing that sets us apart from most: everything we build is 100% yours. The code, the data, and the infrastructure are in your name. We do not chain you to a monthly platform you cannot leave. If tomorrow you want to hand it to another team, you take all of it.
We work with a method we call MAGIA: Mapping your current sales process, Architecting the agent and CRM, Generating the content and brand voice, Implementing across your channels, and Autonomy, so your team runs it without depending on us.
Start with a conversation
If your agency loses leads to slow replies or to follow-up that gets forgotten, the AI agent fixes exactly that. The fastest way to get it is to see it in action: message us on WhatsApp and talk yourself with an agent like the one we would build for you.
