GIAV alternative for tour operators and DMCs selling worldwide

For tour operators and DMCs that build and price their own trips, MeisterCRM is a strong GIAV alternative. It prices every itinerary from supplier contracts with park fees, room allocation and margin per item, runs enquiries through a pipeline with WhatsApp and Gmail on the lead, sends branded web proposals with maps in more than 40 languages, and turns confirmed trips into bookings with supplier vouchers and profit per trip.

GIAV is a back office for Spanish retail agencies: trip files, Spanish VAT invoicing, Verifactu, wholesaler logins and accounting, priced per simultaneous user. MeisterCRM is a travel CRM with a pricing engine for operators who build their own trips: supplier contracts, park fees, rooms and age bands with margin per item, a pipeline with WhatsApp and Gmail, and map-rich web proposals in 40+ languages.

Partly. GIAV places supplier products on quote lines and tracks the margin per trip file and hotel booking, as of October 2026; seasonal contract rates, markup per quote item, multi-currency quoting and a margin check before sending are not described on its website or update notes. In MeisterCRM the pricing engine is a core feature: your supplier contracts and 300+ accommodation products price each day of the itinerary, markup and VAT sit on every item, park fees, rooms and child prices calculate automatically, and you see cost, price and margin before the proposal leaves.

Partly. GIAV has a client CRM with statuses, tasks and an agenda, email and SMS sending and a WhatsApp conversation start; a lead pipeline with stages and owners, and web form capture with automations, are not described, and website leads arrive only through its paid API. MeisterCRM is a travel CRM first: every enquiry sits in a pipeline with a stage, owner, source, budget and next task, web form leads get an instant reply and scheduled follow-up tasks, and you answer on WhatsApp and Gmail from the lead itself.

As of October 2026, GIAV costs €14.50, €32.50 or €44.50 per simultaneous user a month excluding VAT for its Standard, Advanced and Premium licences, paid month to month with no setup fee or minimum term. There is a 15-day free demo, online training is included, and the XML API costs €345 plus VAT to activate. MeisterCRM has a 3-day free trial, no setup fees and free data onboarding and training through your first month; a demo covers the current plans for your team size.

Partly. GIAV can start a WhatsApp conversation from a client record and sends email and SMS, as of October 2026; a WhatsApp inbox on the lead is not described. MeisterCRM answers WhatsApp and Gmail from the lead itself, so the quote, the chat and the next task sit together instead of in a separate phone.

No. MeisterCRM does not offer Spanish VAT regime invoicing, Verifactu compliance or a general ledger. It handles supplier VAT and markup per item, customer invoices and supplier vouchers, and your accountant keeps the books in your accounting software.

Start the 3-day free trial, then share your client list, supplier contracts and rates: data onboarding is free, so the MeisterCRM team helps load and validate them, and free training sessions through your first month cover the pipeline, the pricing engine and proposals. Keep GIAV for trips already in progress and move new enquiries over first. No setup fees apply.
