Travelroots DMC

What Travelroots DMC does

Travel Roots DMC is a privately held destination management company and travel agency headquartered in Kochi, Kerala, India, operating as a direct-to-consumer seller of packaged tours and ancillary travel services. Its core product is a catalog of seven fixed tour packages spanning domestic India (Scenic Himachal, Golden Jewels of India, Ancient Tamil Nadu, Discovery of Kerala) and international destinations (Best of Fareast, Wonderful USA & Canada, Multi-Country European Panoramas), alongside a broader service portfolio covering flight ticketing, visa assistance, travel insurance, foreign exchange, train bookings, cruise reservations, car rentals, honeymoon and wedding planning, corporate MICE, educational trips, and adventure tours. The company claims to have served more than 5,000 travelers and positions itself as one of the well-known travel agencies in Kerala.

The business runs on a consultative sales motion: customers browse packages by destination or mood (Backwaters, Beaches, Cruises, Hill Station, Historical, Pilgrimage, Wildlife) on the company website, submit enquiry forms, and are converted by phone/email or in-person consultation at the Kochi office. The only publicly disclosed price point is ₹36,500 for the 10-day Scenic Himachal domestic package; all other packages are quoted on request, indicating heavy customization and reliance on consultant-led pricing rather than standardized rate cards.

The technology foundation is minimal: no mobile app, no public API/SDK, no disclosed proprietary features, and no AI/ML capabilities flagged in the available data. The digital footprint consists of a WordPress-based website, Facebook/Twitter social profiles, and WhatsApp for enquiry intake. Operating geographies span India, Singapore/Far East, Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, the Maldives, and the UAE, but the company does not claim a global footprint and there is no evidence of overseas offices. Customer segments are consumer-heavy (individual travelers, families, couples, honeymooners) with secondary exposure to corporate groups, educational institutions, and adventure/pilgrimage travelers. No funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, certifications, or named management team are disclosed.
