> A practical guide for operators selling walking tours in AI assistants: the format that works, the buying moment, the play to run and the mistake to avoid.

Tourpublish is the publishing layer above your reservation system, not a reservation platform. Every tour operator should be able to publish everywhere from one place.

## What AI assistants rewards

Structured, machine-readable inventory: what the experience is, where and when it runs, what it costs and whether it is available.

## When people buy here

Planning and research, increasingly the very first step of a trip before any social or search activity happens.

## The play

- Publish start times, meeting point and duration in structured form.

- State the language of each departure explicitly.

- Keep accessibility and walking distance readable, since assistants surface those.

- Maintain one canonical page per tour, not per departure.

## What your setup needs

- Machine-readable product data, not just a marketing page.

- Accurate availability, because a recommendation that is sold out is worse than none.

- A canonical page per experience that an assistant can cite.

## The mistake to avoid

Listing dozens of near-identical departures. It fragments the entity and confuses assistants.

## Why walking tours in particular

On a 20 EUR walking tour, a 28% OTA commission is 5.60 EUR gone. Add processing and refunds, and the guide's earnings shrink fast.

## Make every link trackable

Tourpublish turns each tour into a KLNK you can share in AI assistants, with live availability, mobile checkout and attribution on every booking.
