Turn your tourism idea into a real, sellable business
Build your trips, get them in front of travellers, and run the enquiries, quotes, bookings, payments and suppliers that follow, in one place instead of nine.
You have the trip. What you need is everything around it
What starting a tour company actually requires
Knowing a place well is the hard part, and it is the part you already have. What stops most new operators is the rest of it: somewhere for enquiries to land, a way to quote that does not mean retyping the same itinerary, a record of who has paid, and a way to hold a lodge to a booking. Most people assemble that out of whatever is to hand.
How it usually starts
- WhatsAppEnquiries, and the answers to them
- A spreadsheetWho booked what, and when
- Word documentsQuotes, retyped for every traveller
- EmailSupplier bookings and confirmations
- A notebookWhat has been paid and what has not
- Your memoryWhich lodge still has not confirmed
How it works here
- Enquiry
- Quote
- Booking
- Invoice
- Payment
- Suppliers
- Trip
One record, carried forward. The enquiry becomes the quote, the quote becomes the booking, and the invoice already knows what was sold.
What you actually set up, in the order you do it
What you set up in your first week
You do this yourself, in the product, at your own pace. Nobody has to run it for you and there is nothing to buy before you start. If you would rather have somebody on the call while you do it, that is what the discovery call is for.
Create the company
Your business name, where you operate, your contact details and your logo. This is what a traveller sees on a listing and what prints at the top of every quote and invoice.
Build your first trip
A day-by-day itinerary, what is included and what is not, photos, departure dates and a price. Build it once and reuse it; a later trip can start as a copy of this one.
Publish it to the marketplace
Submit the trip for review. Once it is approved it appears in search, on its destination page and on your own operator profile, where travellers can enquire about it.
Take the first enquiry
Enquiries arrive in one inbox with the traveller's dates, party size, interests and budget. You decide which are worth pursuing before you spend anything on contact details.
Send a real quotation
Turn an enquiry into a priced, branded document rather than a message. Change it, resend it, and the traveller always opens the version you last sent them.
Invoice and record the money
Raise an invoice against the trip, record each payment as it lands, and let the balance work itself out. What is invoiced, what is paid and what is outstanding stop being a guess.
Book the suppliers and run the trip
Put the lodges, transfers, guides and park fees on the trip file, send each supplier a voucher they can verify, and carry the whole thing to departure from one record.
Get in front of travellers who are already looking
How your trips get found and sold
Listing is free
Publish as many trips as you like on every plan, including the free one. There is no cap and no listing fee, and there never has been.
You see the brief first
An enquiry arrives with dates, party size, interests and budget. You read all of that before deciding whether to spend anything on the traveller’s contact details.
Quotes are documents
A priced, branded proposal with your itinerary in it, sent as a link the traveller can open on a phone. Revise it and they always see the version you last sent.
What the marketplace cannot do is promise you demand. Nobody can, and a page that said otherwise would be selling you something it has no way to deliver. What it does is put your trips where people are already searching for them.
The booking does not end when the sale does
Running a trip once it is sold
The trip file
Every service on the trip, who is travelling, what each one costs you and what it sells for. The margin is worked out as you build it rather than afterwards.
Suppliers and vouchers
Send a lodge or a driver a voucher with a code they can check themselves, so nobody is arguing at a gate about whether a booking exists.
Money, both ways
What the traveller owes you and what you owe your suppliers, each with its own record of what has actually been paid.
Built for one person, ready for the team you hire
What happens as the company grows
You start on your own and the software does not assume otherwise. When you take somebody on, you invite them and choose what they can reach: the person who books lodges does not need to see the earnings, and the person who banks the payments does not need to be an owner to do it.
What it costs to begin
- Listing trips is free, on every plan, with no cap.
- The back office is free for 30 days when you create your company, with nothing to pay and no card.
- After that you choose. Stay on Pay per Lead and pay per enquiry you unlock, or take Standard at $35 per user per month, which includes those enquiries.
Before you start
Two ways to find out whether this fits
Look at it yourself
The demo is the same platform with its own data. Sign in as an operator and work through a trip. Nothing is gated behind a conversation.
