If you are a commercial tour operator, i.e. a person or business that is involved in taking groups of people to well known sites for a part-day or a daily activity, and you profit from such activities, then you should read on. We are currently in the process of building a web site that will encourage the public and organised groups to make bookings with your business and we would like your input to ensure that we can provide the best solution for your needs.
You may already have a web site that encourages users and you most likely take bookings at your office in cash or by EFTPOS or through a tourism centre and you may feel that you are getting about as much business as you can currently support. What we are offering is a major reduction in your overheads with a possible lower running cost with a high guarantee that you will sell all your available capacity with a minimum of input from you.
We are not just building our site with Queensland/Australia or New Zealand in mind. We have designed into the system the ability for customers to search on categories of tours anywhere in the world with the default search location starting in the customer’s state. The more tour operators that come on line, wherever they are in the world, the more coverage our site will offer. A customer may be about to tour overseas heading in your direction. They may elect to use a well known contemporary site to book their accommodation and they may also like to book some tours in the local area. They can use our site to lock in a number of tours some of which are made through your business.
We believe that by using our site, you will be one of many operators providing a huge amount of tour diversification which will in turn will draw large numbers of customers to this site making it the go to place for tour bookings. The synergy generated by many operators is positive for operators and the customers, and will not create excessive competition between operators. You may already have competition in your business but that should not change for the worse, in fact by joining our site you will be getting more exposure to your product giving you the edge over your competitors.
We expect the application to be available early to mid 2016 depending on the adoption of any new functionality requested by interested tour operators. The application will be available to operators on a subscription basis and we will be offering discounts to the first 1000 operators to sign up.
For full functional details please proceed to the Registration of Interest page. We will require some details from you to confirm your interest as a tour operator and once submitted, we will get back to you within 24 hours.
If you are a potential customer of such a service, we would also like to hear from you. Such an application not only requires Operators to provide services but also customers who will use these services. We are also exploring the potential to partner with Accommodation outlets. It would be nice to book your holiday place and then see what tours are close to where you will be staying on the dates.
