Canadian Tourism Commission

What Canadian Tourism Commission does

FTD Travel, operated by Shubh Mani Solutions Pvt Ltd, is an India-based B2B travel technology platform and wholesale OTA built exclusively for travel partners rather than end consumers. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Bangalore, the company provides a white-label online booking engine that enables travel agents, distributors, and OTAs to book flights, hotels, buses, cabs, visa services, activities, travel packages, eSIM cards, money transfers, and travel insurance under their own brand or via direct access. The platform aggregates inventory from 900+ airlines globally and supports multiple fare types (LCC, GDS, NDC, Series Fares, Retail, SME, Corporate) through a single integration layer, with ancillary monetization (SSR) for meals, baggage, seats, lounge access and priority boarding.

The underlying technology stack is a web-based B2B booking portal augmented by a Flight Booking API that consolidates Series, LCC, GDS, and NDC content into one integration, with API test access promised within 24 hours. The platform supports dedicated portals for three partner tiers — Travel Agent, Distributor, and Supplier — plus a B2C traveller login layer. Built-in functionality includes real-time booking, cancellation, and re-issuance flows, multiple payment modes (cards, net banking, UPI, wallets, cash deposits), GST input benefits, zero-cancel fare options, and an airlines information reference hub.

FTD Travel generates revenue primarily through transaction-based commissions on bookings routed through its wholesale platform and through API integration fees paid by OTAs integrating flight inventory into their own booking engines. Payment gateway fees provide an additional transaction revenue stream, which agents can bypass via direct bank transfers. The company is bootstrapped, privately held, and operates with a small team (1–10 employees), serving the Indian domestic market extensively while offering international flight inventory spanning Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, East Asia, South Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Note: the company name in the query ("Canadian Tourism Commission") does not match the underlying data, which consistently describes FTD Travel / Shubh Mani Solutions Pvt Ltd.
