Take online bookings and enquiries

There are 4 top level types of online booking integration that you may wish to consider for your website:

  • No online booking integration - just use TourCMS for staff entered bookings
  • Standard booking engine - a basic booking engine that takes about 5 minutes to set up and can be added to any website just by adding a fixed URL (per tour)
  • Bespoke booking engine - pay us to create a booking engine around your specific needs (normally not required as the standard booking engine works for most people)
  • Enquiry form - instead of taking online bookings (or quote requests) - add a form to your website for example to receive tailor-made tour requests. An enquiry form creates a customer record and an enquiry, but no booking record. These enquiries are all tracked within TourCMS
The online booking engine uses live availability information from the central database. Depending upon how you have setup your tours within TourCMS the online booking engine will also immediately cease further sales on tours that are at capacity.
