To add information about a new excursion,

  1. On the Self-operated products menu, click Excursions.

2. On the Excursions page, click Create. The New excursion window appears:

3. On the New excursion page, specify the following information:

  • Recommended - is implemented for own excursions. If to switch on this option on Back-Office, you can sort products by option “Recommended” on the results search page on the Website

  • Product: select the product type City Tour or Extreme tour.

  • Name: enter the name of the excursion.

  • Supplier: select the excursion service supplier.

  • Excursion type: select if the excursion is shared or private, walking or off-cite.

  • Transaction currency: select the currency to use for settlements with the service supplier. The selected currency will also be used for configuring tariffs, price-lists, etc.

  • Duration: specify the excursion duration - approximate time the excursion will take.

We improved option “Duration” for own excursions. Now it is possible to specify the duration not only for single day excursion. If it’s needed you can choose multi-day tour and specify the duration in days. This information is displayed on the search results page and reservation details page on the back office and Website.

  • Departure and destination location:

    • Click Add to specify the departure and destination points for an excursion. Within the pop-up window either type or select from the list the required city name and then the location - a hotel or a place in the city. Note that both departure and destination points are mandatory:


      In case you pick up tourists at several different points (for example this is a hop on-hop off tour that collects passengers from several hotels), you can add another departure location.

    • To add another departure location, in the Departure location form, click Add. The Departure location window appears. However it contains minor changes:


      Fill in the required boxes the way it is described above. Locate mouse pointer into the Shift in time box and specify the time shift of the departure as compared to the departure time from the previous location.
      Assume you plan to get tourists at several locations. When you create an excursion the time shift for the first location is set to 0 by default, while the time shift for the second one should be specified. E.g. distance between the first and the second location is 10km and it takes 15 minutes to get to the second point. In case it should be set to +00:15 as shown in the figure above, that means that the coach brings tourists to the second location in 15 minutes after the first one. And after collecting tourists from both locations the coach will continue it’s route.

  • Short description: briefly describe the excursion service. The entered description will be displayed on Search Results page.

  • Description: enter the excursion description. The information entered in the field will be displayed for tourists in the Detailed information on the excursion window. Here we recommend to specify the details of meeting point, whether the additional services are available, etc.

  • Themes: select the themes of the excursion, e.g. city trip, family, adventure, beach, exclusive, wedding, wellness&active, winter.

4. After you have finished to fill in all the details click Save. Your excursion will be saved into the system.
