5 Quick Tips to Attract Travelers to Your Tour or Activity Business
We know that you use a lot of other online tools to manage your business. So to make life simpler for you, we’ve integrated with the most popular ones that you have requested via our Feature Requests Forum.
If you’re already using them, here are 3 apps to check out install:
1) Marketing: Facebook
As a tour operator, you probably work your Facebook page like no other (and if you aren’t, you definitely should be).
Facebook is a great place to attract prospects and get them to book with you . But why force them to click through to your booking page when you can have it as an app on your Facebook page?
The Rezdy Facebook app allows customers to book directly from your Facebook page so they don’t have to leave their Facebook page. They can message their friends to confirm how many seats and extras they want while making a booking.
2) Operations: Xero
Xero is a cloud-based business accounting software that is becoming very popular worldwide, because it’s designed specifically for small businesses.
Due to popular request – and the fact that the Zapier to Xero integration had its limitations – we gave Xero its very own app.
With this app:
- Every time a new order is created in Rezdy, Rezdy will automatically create an invoice in Xero populated with your customer’s data (product and payment information).
- When an order or product is updated in Rezdy, it will automatically update in Xero if the order is unpaid.
- You can go directly to Xero from an order page in Rezdy.
3) Distribution: Viator
Viator is wholly focused on tours and activities, selling its products to a global consumer base at Viator.com, 60 additional consumer-facing websites, mobile websites and apps, and through its global network of affiliates.
Viator’s listings are supported by more than 500,000 reviews, photos, and videos posted by travelers. It boasts 9 million visitors per month.
Rezdy’s innovative technology is a complete 2-way solution for tour operators:
- Viator’s customers can access tour operator availability in real-time.
- You receive a stream of new bookings directly into your own Rezdy inventory management software, removing the need for double data entry. This means that you avoid overbooking and manual error.
- You will gain access to Viator’s massive distribution network.
If you aren’t already working with Viator, you must apply to become a supplier of Viator. Rezdy has no say in this process.
