> Cut marketplace commission and win direct bookings in Berlin. Tourpublish gives Berlin tour operators a mobile checkout, tracked KLNKs and a creator network.

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 is booking tours in Berlin

A young international audience, large domestic weekend demand, and a serious history-focused segment of all ages.

## How the Berlin season runs

May to September peaks with steady year-round demand. Major festivals and club events create their own micro-seasons.

## The marketplace problem in Berlin

Berlin's low price points and high operator count mean marketplace listings compete almost purely on price, which suppresses margin across the whole city.

## Why owned distribution wins here

Berlin audiences find things through subculture channels and word of mouth, not marketplace search. Owned distribution matches how the city actually works.

## What Tourpublish does for Berlin operators

- 3-tap mobile checkout with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

- Tracked KLNKs on every tour so you know which creator, campaign or channel drove a booking.

- Direct integration with Bokun, CaptainBook and TicketingHub so your existing inventory syncs in minutes.

- A 3% fee on the Founding plan, against a quarter to a third on the big marketplaces.

## Frequently asked

### Why is price competition so severe in Berlin?

A large operator pool and low ticket prices push marketplace listings into direct price comparison, which nobody wins.

### How do Berlin visitors find tours?

Largely through social, community and word of mouth, which is precisely where an owned, shareable link outperforms a listing.

> 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.

Pilot underway to onboard 40+ operators across the Voss region
