Tour package software for tour operators and travel agencies

What tour package software does

Tour package software gives a tour operator one place to describe a trip, control how many people can join each departure and take money for it. Instead of updating spreadsheets and replying to enquiries one by one, you publish the tour once and let travellers book the dates that still have space.

In TravelBookingPanel the tour module is included from the Starter plan. Tours appear on your customer booking website, are managed in the admin back office and, on Agency and Enterprise plans, can be sold by sub-agents.

Fixed departures and on-request tours

Most operators sell a mix of the two. A fixed departure runs on a set date with a set number of places — a seven-day group tour leaving on the first of each month, for example. An on-request tour has no fixed date: the traveller asks for the date they want and you confirm once you have checked guides, vehicles and hotels. The panel supports both, so a private tour and a scheduled group trip can sit side by side in your catalogue.

Seat inventory, child pricing and deposits

• Seat inventory per date. Each departure has its own limit, and the remaining places update as bookings come in.
• Child pricing. Children can be priced separately from adults, so a family booking shows the right total.
• Deposits or full payment. You decide whether a tour takes a deposit to hold the place or full payment at booking.
• Your own inventory. Contracted hotels, group fares, tours and transfers can all be loaded and sold from the same panel.

What a good tour listing includes

Software handles the booking, but the listing still has to sell the trip. Most travellers decide from the itinerary, so it pays to be specific:

• What happens each day, including travel time between stops and where travellers sleep.
• What the price covers and what it does not — meals, entrance fees, guides, transfers.
• The meeting point and start time for the first day.
• Your deposit, balance and cancellation terms, written in plain language.

Tour operator booking software for B2B sales

Many tour operators earn as much through other agencies as they do direct. With the B2B agent portal on the Agency and Enterprise plans, each sub-agent logs in, sees your tours at the price you set for them and books against a prepaid wallet with top-up requests and statements. Markup and commission rules can be set per agent or product, and agents can hand their clients vouchers and invoices in their own brand.

Selling tours alongside flights and hotels

Because tours, flights and hotels share one admin back office and one traveller account, your team handles every part of a trip from the same place, and travellers find all their documents in one login. That makes it straightforward to start with tours and add other products as you grow.

A tour booking system you own

TravelBookingPanel is sold on a one-time licence with full source code, installed on your own domain and server, with no monthly fee and no commission on bookings. Hosting and payment-gateway fees are paid directly to those providers. Compare what each plan includes on the pricing page, or see the full list of features.
