Alternatives to Travelio: what to choose for your travel agency?
If you are evaluating alternatives to Travelio, you are choosing between different types of product: small SaaS panels, cloud suites for agencies in Romania, back-offices with a client portal and CRMs installed on your own server. This page lists four options on the Romanian market, grouped by cost model, from monthly subscription to one-off licence. Data about competitors comes only from their official sites.
Short answer
- You run a small or medium agency, sell packages and group departures and want a low monthly cost: 4AgencyTravel (from €1/month, 5 users as a plan term).
- You want a cloud suite for agencies in Romania, with e-Factura and tourism documents, at a low entry price: Travel Office, per the official site.
- You want clients to see their bookings and pay by card, or integration with Romanian tour operators: eTrip Agency, per the vendor's statements.
- You prefer a one-off licence, with data on your own server, and a CRM with a travel file: Zarina CRM.

The list excludes Travelio, the subject of the page. Each option targets a different customer, so choose by your need, not by position.

What to check before switching software
- Ask both the current and the new vendor what data you can export (clients, suppliers, bookings, payments) and in which format; do not assume a full export exists.
- Decide the date from which the invoice series changes and how you keep access to old invoices, per your archiving obligations.
- Run both in parallel for a short period, with real files, before closing the old program.
- Check which tourism documents your activity requires (contract, voucher, borderou) and whether the new product generates them in the form you need.
- Ask for a trial or demo and name a migration owner who also trains the agents.
How 4AgencyTravel helps
- A complete sales flow: lead, quote with variants, booking, with one-click conversions.
- Cost, price and margin on each service line, with the supplier attached.
- Departures with capacity, held and confirmed seats, waiting list, manifest and rooming list with CSV export.
- Supplier contracts and allotments, with usage tracking.
- Payment schedules (deposit and up to 24 instalments), manually recorded payments, receivables ageing, commissions per agent and margin-scheme VAT per booking.
- A monthly subscription from €1 (Start, 5 users as a plan term), SaaS with no server to run and no setup fee listed in the plans.
- It sends no automatic messages, has no client portal and does not submit invoices to SPV: on confirmation it only creates a draft in 4invoices. Generated documents are print-ready HTML, in Romanian, and the receipt is a payment confirmation, not a fiscal receipt.
