Sneak previews of the look and feel within the week
Oh, and did I mention we have a full suite of APIs so you can extend the solution with your own requirements including integration into ticketing machine, resellers and so much more…..
Tours 2.0 launches in BETA on 5th March 2010
Imagine being able to cross sell your tours with other operators! Or being able to have affiliates and resellers selling tours on your behalf.
We’ll you wont need to imagine for long as we are currently working on a tours aggregator where you can pick and mix tours from your network of friends and sell tours on their behalf.
So selling tours to France from the USA will be quick and easy, likewise selling pan-european tours through Asia wil be a click or two away.
More information on this coming soon!
For the last few months we’ve been working with lead Motorcoach and Tour Companies in designing a new Tours module in TravelManager.
Now that we have some of our users live with Tours on their website and with more to following in the coming weeks it’s a pretty exciting time for Tours. However this is just the starting point over the coming months we want to help more of our existing and new users to get up and running.
If you’re listing your Tours as PDF’s on your website, you’re missing a huge opportunity with the search engines. They love content and by using Tours in TravelManager you get to leverage that content to drive more traffic to your website.
Our goal is bring new and innovative features to TravelManager that will really help sell and promote your Tours. For us this means really listening to your feedback and sharing ideas on how to market your Tours more effectively. Search Engines, Social Networks are potential growth areas for your business, let us help you get the most out of these.
Look forward to hearing from you.

By offering Motorcoaches rather than transit buses the fans are going to be upgrading their transportation to the Arrowhead Stadium for their teams home games.

We’re excited to be part of this growing area for private motorcoach companies to cater for fans left out in the cold by cuts in public transit services.
