The desk

Your margin is yours.

Arika's agent desk is a B2B hotel and travel service in Goregaon East, Mumbai, for more than four hundred travel agent partners across Maharashtra and India. It sells pre-purchased domestic room blocks and negotiated rates at net prices, confirms from held inventory in minutes, and issues vouchers and GST invoices — with a named desk for every partner.

Why this desk

Held inventory, clean paper.

Six things a trade partner can count on.

  1. I

    Held inventory, not a search result

    We hold the rooms, so we can confirm them — inside a live cut-off window before check-in.

  2. II

    Your margin is yours

    Net rate to you; whatever you add is your business.

  3. III

    A named desk

    The same two people on your thread, with directors in the room.

  4. IV

    Clean paper

    Voucher and GST invoice on confirmation, reconciled against the hotel's invoice after checkout.

  5. V

    Settlement that fits you

    Per booking, advance wallet, or an agreed credit line for established partners.

  6. VI

    A portal is coming

    Self-service booking from Arika's inventory is in development. Until then, the desk is the portal.

Straight answers

What people ask before they partner.

Three questions agents ask before their first request, answered plainly.

  1. 01

    How do travel agents book hotels through Arika?

    Post the request to your dedicated Arika desk. Inside held inventory it is confirmed in the same conversation at a net rate; outside it we go to the hotel and return a real answer. Voucher and GST invoice follow.

    Your request lands with a named Arika hotel desk. Inside held inventory it confirms in minutes; outside it, we negotiate with the hotel and tell you what is genuinely possible. Vouchers and GST invoices follow.

  2. 02

    What margin does an agent make?

    You receive a net B2B rate and set your own markup. Your client never sees Arika's rate, and Arika never contacts your client.

    Read the full answerClose

    We quote net; you decide the client's price. Arika never contacts your client and never undercuts you on the same room. Settlement is per booking for most partners, with wallets and credit lines for established ones.

  3. 03

    Does Arika process visas for other agencies?

    Not at present. The agent desk covers domestic hotels and ground arrangements; visa processing is offered to Arika's own clients and corporate desks.

    Arika's visa desk serves Arika's own clients and corporate desks today. Agent visa processing is a stated ambition rather than a live service, so we do not offer it on this page — we would rather be accurate than early.

Questions

Asked often.

Short answers. If yours is not here, the agent desk picks up.

01How fast is a confirmation?

Inside our held inventory, in the same conversation. Outside it, we go to the hotel directly and come back with a real answer.

02How does agent pricing work?

You receive a net rate. Whatever you add on top is yours, and your client never sees ours.

03What are the payment terms?

Most partners settle per booking. Established partners run an advance wallet or an agreed credit line.

04Do you handle international hotels for agents?

International hotels sit with our outbound team inside full itineraries rather than as standalone room bookings.

05Do you process visas for agencies?

Not currently. Visa processing is for Arika's own clients and corporate desks.
