Jolly filler but not sure where you can get it off the shelf.

As Neale above, jolly glues what your looking for.

Get the Vertical Straw colour, it's a perfect match for travertine.

Akemi is another brand similar to Jolly.

You'll find a plentyful supply of them at stone masonry suppliers.

does it need sanding after its hardened ?

Masking tape all round the hole you are going to fill, mix the glue but make sure you don't get any on any other part of the tile (it will shine)
Use a flexible filling knife & remove tape after a minute, roughly, before it goes hard.
You shouldn't need to touch it after its cured, it dries very quick.
I would use a spare tile as a tester & see what your doing first.

Fill it, wait for it to almost harden and use a razor blade to flush it up. It shouldnt need much more than that but you could use a bit of wet and dry.
