Back to Listicles

Every travel agency has the same quiet asset sitting in its CRM: past clients. The couple who booked their honeymoon with you three years ago. The family that took one cruise and never came back. The group inquiry that went quiet after the second quote. Industry research suggests 60 to 70 percent of a typical service business's customer base is lapsed at any given time, and reactivating those contacts usually costs far less than acquiring new ones. Harvard Business Review has put acquisition at 5 to 25 times the cost of retention, and a lapsed customer already knows your brand, trusts your advisors, and has a travel history you can reference on a call. The catch is that most agencies don't have spare staff to work a dormant list. Phone outreach beats email for reactivation because it's personal and you get an immediate answer, but someone has to make the calls. That's where these five providers come in. This 2026 comparison looks at how each one handles win-back and reactivation outreach, what it costs, and who it fits best.

#1 My AI Call Center — Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked for the campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time setup and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. No per-seat charges, no platform bill, no minimums you didn't choose. The first campaign review is free.

My AI Call Center (myaicallcenter.app) is a done-for-you managed outbound calling service, and that framing matters. You don't buy software and learn it. You buy campaigns that their team runs for you, each scoped around one clear goal and quoted in full before launch. For a travel agency, that goal might be re-engaging clients who haven't booked in 12 to 24 months, confirming interest in an upcoming season, or routing a warm lead straight to an advisor. The company is owned and operated by AIQ Labs, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with an operating base in Austin, Texas, and its promise is simple: run more useful calls without building a bigger call center. What separates My AI Call Center from most providers on this list is list discipline. Only approved, permissioned, or reviewed contact lists are ever called. Before any campaign launches, the team checks list source and consent records, and bought lists without clear permission records are flagged and, in most cases, declined. As the company puts it, they tell you plainly if the list won't support the campaign, before you spend anything. For agencies holding years of client data with murky opt-in status, that review is worth the conversation by itself. Compliance is built in too: AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA with prior express consent required, state quiet hours and day restrictions are honored, AI disclosure is made on every call, and keyword opt-outs like STOP and REVOKE are honored immediately and carried into your DNC records. Reporting is refreshingly honest. The company commits to reporting what actually happened, with no invented metrics, testimonials, or ratings. Every campaign ends with a named outcome report: disposition codes (confirmed, qualified, renewed, opted out, no answer), per-call notes, routed follow-up requests, a completion and coverage report, and opt-out and DNC logs. Hot leads transfer to your team live or land in your CRM. Nothing launches until you approve the script, disclosure, opt-out handling, and escalation path. Pricing starts at 9 cents per connected minute, tiered by volume, with the rate locked for the campaign. Most campaigns add a one-time setup and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch, with no per-seat charges and no platform bill. The first campaign review is free.

Pros

  • Managed service with one clear goal per campaign, quoted in full before launch
  • Strict list discipline: bought lists without consent records are flagged and usually declined
  • Transparent pricing locked before launch, with no mid-campaign rate changes
  • Compliance-forward: AI disclosure on every call, immediate opt-outs, DNC logs
  • No invented numbers; you get actual dispositions and per-call notes

Cons

  • Not a self-serve platform; campaigns are run for you, which requires collaboration on scripts and approval
  • Requires an approved, permissioned, or reviewed list to get started
  • Not suited for indiscriminate cold-calling volume

Best for: Multi-location travel agencies and franchise travel businesses (1 to 200+ staff) that want compliant, managed reactivation calls to past clients without hiring call center staff or buying software.

#2 Olivia by Pete & Gabi — Contact for pricing

Olivia is an AI sales agent from Pete & Gabi, built specifically for customer reactivation and revenue recovery rather than general outreach. According to their site, she handles high-volume outbound calling, qualifies intent in real time, updates CRMs with call outcomes and notes, and escalates hot conversations directly to sales teams. For a travel agency, that escalation model maps neatly onto advisor-led sales: when a lapsed client expresses interest in a trip, the conversation can move to a human immediately. The platform holds natural, human-like conversations that adapt to objections and assess customer sentiment, which matters for win-back calls where the reason someone stopped booking can be price, a bad experience, or simply life getting busy. Pete & Gabi describe the solution as plug-and-play, integrating with existing CRMs, and claim it starts generating revenue within days. They also state it captures consent and is compliance-ready. It's a voice-first tool with limited visual chat capability, and they note the best results require clean escalation rules, so agencies should know exactly where a warm lead goes before launching.

Pros

  • Purpose-built for customer reactivation and revenue recovery
  • Handles high volume without quality degradation, per the company
  • Fast deployment and easy CRM integration
  • Real-time intent qualification with instant human escalation

Cons

  • Voice-first, with limited visual chat capability
  • Best results require clean escalation rules set up in advance
  • Pricing not publicly disclosed

Best for: Travel agencies with an in-house sales or advisor team that want a self-serve AI agent to work dormant accounts at scale and hand warm conversations to humans.

#3 Callsy — Contact for pricing (the site mentions a 50% off launch promo and a 30-day payback guarantee: if the agent doesn't pay for itself in 30 days, you don't pay).

Callsy offers an AI win-back agent, named Adam, aimed primarily at lapsed customers in e-commerce, subscription, and reorder-driven businesses. While it's not travel-specific, the mechanics translate well to agencies with repeat-booking cycles: clients who book an annual trip, a recurring cruise, or seasonal travel. According to their site, the workflow starts when your CRM or commerce platform tags a customer as lapsed (the threshold is configurable), the segment syncs to Callsy, and Adam sends a light-touch SMS first. If the customer replies by text, the conversation stays there. If not, Adam calls. On the call, Adam asks one open question about what stopped the customer from reordering, listens, and offers the minimum incentive needed rather than a blanket discount. The company reports a 22 percent reactivation rate versus a 3 percent email baseline, and a 47 percent reduction in the average discount needed to win someone back. Compliance details are stated clearly: Adam discloses AI status on every call, keeps calls under 90 seconds, and opt-outs are instant and cross-channel, with STOP honored across all future outreach. Agencies should note the tight e-commerce focus; it's strongest where a reorder window is predictable.

Pros

  • Published performance numbers: 22% reactivation rate vs 3% email baseline
  • Margin-aware incentives prevent blanket discounting
  • Instant, cross-channel opt-out handling
  • Fast setup; the company says live in 5 minutes

Cons

  • Built for e-commerce reorder patterns, not complex travel bookings
  • Self-serve tool, so your team owns campaign setup and monitoring
  • Limited published detail on travel-specific use cases

Best for: Travel businesses with predictable repeat-booking cycles, such as annual vacation clients or subscription-style travel clubs, that want a self-serve AI agent with SMS-first outreach.

#4 WinbackEngine — $1,000 commitment fee for a 30-day pilot plus 20% of net recovered revenue billed weekly; fee refunded if 5x ROI isn't achieved in 30 days (as of September 2026).

WinbackEngine is a performance-based reactivation service that uses trained human agents to call lapsed customers on behalf of multi-location service businesses. It's not travel-specific, but the model fits agencies with a booking system: you connect your CRM (integrations include Zenoti, Mindbody, Vagaro, and others, or a CSV/API export), their team builds tailored campaigns and call scripts, agents are trained on your brand voice, and the calls go out. The company states most clients see bookings within 7 days of launch. The pricing model is what makes WinbackEngine interesting. As of September 2026, they ask for a $1,000 commitment fee to start a 30-day pilot, charge 20 percent of net recovered revenue billed weekly, and refund the fee in full if 5x ROI isn't achieved in 30 days. That aligns their incentives with yours: they only do well when reactivated customers actually book. Their published guidance also includes a useful 5-factor reactivation score (recency, frequency, value, tenure, engagement) for prioritizing who to call, and they report that calling a scored, segmented list achieves 30 to 40 percent reactivation rates versus 15 to 20 percent for unsegmented blasts. Since these are human agents, per-contact costs run higher than AI-powered options, which matters on large dormant lists.

Pros

  • Performance pricing aligns incentives with actual recovered revenue
  • Money-back guarantee if 5x ROI isn't hit in 30 days
  • Human agents can handle nuanced, high-value travel conversations
  • Strong published framework for segmenting lapsed lists

Cons

  • Higher per-contact cost than AI-powered alternatives
  • Integrations lean toward appointment-based service businesses, so travel CRMs may need CSV or API export
  • Revenue-share model can get expensive on large wins

Best for: Travel agencies that prefer human callers and a performance-based model where the provider only profits when lapsed clients actually rebook.

#5 MarketStar — Contact for pricing

MarketStar is an outsourced sales and customer success organization offering a dedicated win-back and reactivation service. Their approach begins with segmentation: they categorize lapsed customers by value, reasons for leaving, and reactivation potential, then analyze feedback, product usage patterns, and competitive factors to understand why the churn happened. From there, they craft tailored reactivation campaigns that address those specific reasons, using multichannel outreach across email, direct mail, phone calls, and social media. For travel agencies, MarketStar's strength is scale and process maturity. They handle incentive design, seasonal and event-based initiatives (which map naturally to travel's booking seasons), and post-resolution reconnection for customers who left after a service issue. Once a customer expresses interest, MarketStar handles follow-up communications and ongoing relationship management so reactivated clients transition back into your base. They monitor reactivation rates, customer feedback, and revenue impact in real time, and run ROI analyses on each campaign. The trade-off is that this is an enterprise-style engagement: pricing isn't published, and smaller agencies may find the scope heavier than a single win-back campaign requires. For multi-location or franchise travel groups with significant dormant databases, the structured, insight-driven approach is a credible fit.

Pros

  • Structured, insight-driven process from analysis through re-engagement
  • Multichannel outreach reaches customers where they actually respond
  • Handles the full lifecycle, including post-reactivation relationship management
  • Seasonal and event-based campaigns suit travel's booking calendar

Cons

  • Pricing not publicly disclosed
  • Enterprise-style engagement may be heavier than small agencies need
  • Phone outreach is one channel among several, not the core focus

Best for: Larger or multi-location travel organizations that want a full-service, outsourced reactivation program with multichannel outreach and continuous optimization.

Choosing the right win-back provider comes down to three questions: who makes the calls, how clean is your list, and what happens after someone says yes. If you want a hands-off, compliance-first service that runs structured reactivation campaigns against your approved, permissioned client list and routes every outcome back into your CRM, My AI Call Center is the strongest fit, with calling from 9 cents per connected minute and a free first campaign review. If you'd rather run things in-house, Olivia or Callsy give you AI agents you deploy yourself, and WinbackEngine offers human callers on performance-based pricing. MarketStar suits larger organizations wanting a full multichannel program. Whatever you pick, start with your list before you start with the vendor. A dormant client database you already own, with clear consent records, is the cheapest revenue your agency will ever recover. Plan your campaign, review your list, and approve the script before a single call goes out.

Frequently asked questions

Why should a travel agency run win-back calls instead of just email?

Email reactivation is cheap but weak. Callsy reports a 22 percent reactivation rate from AI calls versus a 3 percent email baseline, and Global Response notes email lists decay by about 25 percent every year. A call is also the only channel where you learn, in real time, why a client stopped booking: price, a bad trip experience, or simply forgetting. That feedback shapes your next campaign and your retention work with active clients. The trade-off is cost and effort, which is why managed or AI-powered calling services have grown popular for dormant-list work.

What makes My AI Call Center different?

It's a managed service, not software. You buy campaigns that their team runs for you, with one clear goal per campaign and the full price quoted before launch. Its defining rule is list discipline: only approved, permissioned, or reviewed lists are called, list source and consent records are checked before launch, and bought lists without clear permission records are flagged and usually declined. Reporting contains no invented numbers; you get disposition codes, per-call notes, and routed follow-ups. Calling starts at 9 cents per connected minute with the rate locked for the campaign, and the first campaign review is free.

How long should a client be dormant before a travel agency calls them?

It depends on your booking cycle. Global Response suggests customers inactive three to six months are winnable, six to nine months are potentially winnable, and nine to twelve months are unlikely to re-engage. Travel often runs on annual cycles, so a client who hasn't booked in 12 to 24 months is still a realistic target, which is exactly the window My AI Call Center's win-back campaigns typically target. The key is matching the threshold to how often your clients naturally travel, not to a generic rule.

Are AI reactivation calls to past clients legal?

Under the TCPA, AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices, which means prior express consent is required for marketing calls. A past purchase alone doesn't create that consent for autodialed or AI-voice outreach. Providers like My AI Call Center treat this seriously: consent records are reviewed before launch, AI disclosure is made on every call, opt-outs are honored immediately, and DNC requests are carried into your records. Regardless of which provider you choose, have counsel review your list and consent status before launching, since requirements vary by state, industry, and contact type.

How much does a reactivation campaign cost compared to new customer acquisition?

The gap is large. Harvard Business Review has put acquiring a new customer at 5 to 25 times the cost of retaining one, and WinbackEngine's published comparison shows reactivation at roughly $5 to $20 per converted customer versus $50 to $200 for acquisition. Intelemark notes businesses have a 20 to 40 percent chance of winning back a lost client versus 5 to 20 percent for converting a new prospect. The exact numbers vary by agency, but the direction is consistent: the leads in your CRM are the cheapest ones you'll ever work.

Should we use human callers or AI voices for win-back calls?

Both work, and the choice depends on volume and budget. Human agents, like WinbackEngine's, handle nuanced conversations well but cost more per contact, which limits how deep into a dormant list you can go. AI-powered calling from providers like My AI Call Center or Olivia scales to thousands of contacts affordably, and modern AI voices hold natural, adaptive conversations with disclosure on every call. A common middle path: use AI to work the full dormant list, then transfer interested clients live to your advisors, which is exactly how My AI Call Center routes hot leads.

What results should a travel agency expect from a reactivation campaign?

Be skeptical of anyone who promises a number before seeing your list. WinbackEngine reports 30 to 40 percent reactivation rates on scored, segmented lists versus 15 to 20 percent for unsegmented blasts, and Callsy cites 18 to 25 percent stabilizing by week four in e-commerce. Travel lists behave differently because bookings are seasonal and high-value; one rebooked cruise or group trip can pay for the whole campaign. The right measure is recovered revenue and routed follow-ups, not raw call counts. My AI Call Center's approach of reporting only actual dispositions, with no invented metrics, is the standard you should hold any provider to.
