Holiday enquiries don't keep office hours. They land after midnight, from other time zones, on a Sunday — and a missed call is a trip booked elsewhere by morning. Meet Hank, the 24/7 AI voice agent from WebCallHub: it qualifies trip enquiries, books consultations with your consultants, answers package and visa FAQs, and gets urgent in-trip problems to a human in seconds.
A travel business doesn't lose "a phone call" — it loses a booking, the commission on it, and a customer who would have come back every year. Three things drain the pipeline, and they all happen when no human is free to pick up.
The honeymoon couple browsing at midnight, the client in a different time zone calling during your night — by the time your branch opens, they've already enquired with three competitors.
Your consultant is deep in a tailor-made itinerary when the phone rings. They either break the meeting in front of a paying client, or let a fresh enquiry roll to voicemail.
A missed connection, a cancelled flight, a stranded traveller — these can't wait for office hours, and a panicked customer who can't reach a human remembers it forever.
Figures above are realistic illustrative ranges used to size the opportunity — your numbers will vary by product mix, average trip value and season.
Hank isn't a voicemail or a chatbot. It's a natural-voice AI agent that handles the enquiries your consultants can't get to — and hands off cleanly to a human the moment it should. It gives general information and a fast handoff, never a binding booking or formal travel/visa legal advice.
Hank asks what your consultants always ask — destination, dates and flexibility, party size and ages, rough budget, package vs tailor-made — and structures it into a clean enquiry summary, so the consultant opens warm instead of from scratch.
Once an enquiry is qualified, Hank offers real open slots from your calendar and books a phone or in-branch consultation with the right consultant — including after hours, so the lead is confirmed, not chased tomorrow.
What's included in a package, general visa and entry pointers, baggage allowances, deposit and amendment basics — Hank answers the routine questions at a general level, trained on your agency's information, and flags anything needing a specialist.
For a missed connection, cancellation or rebooking, Hank captures the booking reference, location and problem, then routes straight to a human agent or your duty line flagged urgent — getting a real person on it in seconds.
Hank switches automatically to the caller's language — fluent Finnish for local travellers, English for international clients. One agent, both languages, no extra multilingual staff on the rota.
Every conversation is recorded with a full transcript and an analytics dashboard — qualified enquiries, booked consultations, recovered after-hours calls — so you see exactly what Hank handled while you were closed.
You don't set anything up. We do it for you in 5 business days, then Hank answers your enquiry calls for a flat monthly price. No app, no hardware, no per-minute surprises. See the full WebCallHub pricing.

Yes — that's its core job. Hank greets the caller, then walks through the questions your consultants always ask: destination or region of interest, travel dates and flexibility, number of travellers and ages, rough budget per person, and whether it's a package, a tailor-made itinerary, or just inspiration. It structures the answers into a clean enquiry summary so your consultant opens the conversation already knowing who they're talking to — instead of starting from a blank form on a callback.
Hank is built to recognise an in-trip problem and treat it differently from a sales enquiry. When a traveller calls about a missed connection, a cancelled flight, a rebooking, or a stranded-abroad situation, Hank captures the essentials fast — booking reference, current location, what went wrong, and a callback number — and routes it straight to a human agent or your on-call duty line with the situation flagged as urgent. Hank does not pretend to resolve a rebooking itself; its job is to get a real person on it in seconds, not leave the traveller in a voicemail loop.
Yes. During the 5-day done-for-you setup we connect Hank to your booking calendar, so once it has qualified an enquiry it can offer real open slots and book a phone or in-branch consultation directly with the right consultant. For complex tailor-made trips it can route to a specific specialist's diary. Every booking also captures the caller's name and number, so even an after-hours enquiry lands as a confirmed appointment, not a note to chase tomorrow.
That's exactly the gap it fills. Travel enquiries arrive at every hour — a honeymoon couple browsing at midnight, a customer in another time zone calling during your night, a Sunday-evening impulse to book a holiday. Hank answers 24/7/365 in under three seconds, so an enquiry that lands at 02:00 is qualified and booked rather than going cold by the time your branch opens. Seasonal spikes are covered too: when phones are ringing off the hook in peak booking season, Hank takes every call in parallel without a hold queue.
Yes. Hank speaks fluent Finnish and English and switches automatically based on the language the caller uses — useful for Finnish agencies serving both local travellers and international clients. A customer can describe their dream trip, ask about a package, or report an in-trip problem entirely in Finnish, or in English, with no menu trees and no extra multilingual staff on the rota.
Yes — GDPR-first by design, which matters when calls contain passport names, dates of birth, and booking references. Everything is EU-hosted in Helsinki (Hetzner). Callers are asked for consent before any recording, transcripts are encrypted, and travellers have the right to erasure on request. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available for your agency. Hank also stays in its lane: it gives general guidance and a fast human handoff, not binding bookings or formal travel/visa legal advice.
Click the green call button in the bottom-right corner and ask anything: describe a trip you'd like to take, ask about a package or visa, book a consultation, or report a problem mid-trip. This is exactly what your customers would experience on your agency's website.
