B2B White-Labeled Travel Booking Engine
Objective
To build a B2B (Business-to-Business) travel booking engine that allows travel agencies, corporate clients, and partners to use a white-labeled portal with their branding to book flights, hotels, buses, and holiday packages. The system integrates multiple travel APIs, supports commission-based pricing, and provides an admin panel for managing agencies, bookings, and revenue.
