Mobile checkout, tracked KLNKs, creator attribution and a 3% fee on the Founding plan. 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. ## Who books day tours First-time visitors, groups of 2 to 8, longer research windows. ## How the season runs Longer lead times than any other category, often two to six weeks. That makes day tours the best fit for search and long-form content rather than same-week social. ## The marketplace problem for day tours A 100 EUR day tour with 28% OTA commission is 28 EUR gone. Fill a 20-seat coach and that is 560 EUR of commission per departure. ## Why Tourpublish fits this category Day-tour buyers research heavily. Long-form YouTube and blog content backed by tracked KLNKs is one of the highest-ROI channels in the industry. ## What operators use it for - Wine day trips partnering with YouTube travel channels. - Coach-based sight-seeing operators running blog-driven KLNK campaigns. - Adventure day tours using creator KLNKs to fill shoulder-season departures. ## What you get - One-tap checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay. - Tracked KLNKs for every tour with per-creator, per-campaign attribution. - Two-way sync with Bokun, CaptainBook and TicketingHub. - A 3% fee on the Founding plan. ## Frequently asked ### Why do day tours benefit most from direct booking? Because commission is a percentage. The larger the ticket, the more absolute margin a percentage fee removes from every single seat you sell. ### How do I fill a departure that is half sold? Push the specific departure through a tracked link to creators and past guests. Because attribution is per link, you can see exactly which push filled the coach. ## Operators in this category [Image: Crister Næss] Crister Næss Head of Visit Voss, Visit Voss, Norway > For us, Tourpublish is much more than a platform. It is part of the digital infrastructure a modern DMO needs to build around the destination, connecting businesses, content, data and distribution in a way that creates more collaboration and less friction. The destination of the future needs to be easy to discover, understand and book, whether the customer journey starts with Google, social media, an AI assistant or one of our partners. Tourpublish helps us mobilize the entire destination, turn authentic local content into shared value, and create a stronger foundation for data-driven marketing and seamless booking across businesses. That is where we see the role of the DMO evolving: not controlling every customer touchpoint, but building the infrastructure that makes the whole destination more connected, visible and bookable.
