The Tour Categories feature allows you to efficiently group tours based on shared characteristics. For example, you can create a category for all day tours and another for overnight tours, making it easier to organize and manage your offerings. A single tour can be included in multiple categories, providing flexibility in how you categorize and present your tours.
After Tour Categories are configured, the Grouped Tours will appear in the specified locations:
Generate OBE Link: Create a weblink to share with agents or display on your website, specifying which tours will be available in the Tour List OBE (Online Booking Engineer) by using Tour Categories.
Promo Codes: Apply adjustments or discounts to specific tours by using Tour Categories to generate a list of applicable tours.
/wiki/spaces/HOWTO/pages/1146454129: Use Tour Categories to filter and easily distinguish groups of tours.
Jasper Reports: Tour Categories can be applied for custom reports upon request.
Tour Maintenance: The Tour Categories linked with tours can be viewed in Tour Maintenance, but they are greyed out.
Routes: You can also include Routes in Tour Categories, but these changes must be done via the Routes page.
From the Main Menu, click on Settings >Tour Categories. On this page is a card for Tour Categories and Tours.
