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 photography tours Couples, honeymooners and solo travellers who want images of their trip, plus enthusiast photographers booking golden-hour guiding. ## How the season runs Follows light and weddings. Golden-hour slots sell first, and proposal or honeymoon demand peaks in late spring and early autumn. ## The marketplace problem for photography tours The product is the photographer's eye, and a marketplace listing reduces that to a thumbnail and a star rating. There is no room for a portfolio to sell. ## Why Tourpublish fits this category Instagram is the portfolio. A tracked link in the bio next to the exact work a traveller just admired is the shortest possible path from inspiration to booking. ## What operators use it for - Sunrise photo walks sold from a location-tagged Instagram grid. - Proposal photography booked privately through a discreet direct link. - Photography workshops sold to a returning enthusiast audience. ## 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 ### My work is my marketing. Why do I need a booking platform? So the portfolio converts. The gap is usually between someone admiring an image and being able to book that exact session in two taps on a phone. ### Can I sell private sessions and group workshops together? Yes, as separate products with separate links, so private enquiries and workshop seats never compete for the same slot. ## 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.
