Bottom line
TravelJoy is an all-in-one platform for travel advisors: CRM, itinerary and proposal building, client messaging, payments and group trips in one workspace. Starter is $19/month for 12 trips a year; Pro is $39/month, or $32 billed annually, adding unlimited trips, AI and automations, group bookings and team members. A 7-day free trial with no credit card and a 30-day money-back guarantee lower adoption risk. AI covers itinerary drafting, repeat-booking opportunities and document import.
