Guests will happily book a sauna slot or an archipelago cruise on a phone if the link reaches them. ## What Tourpublish does for Helsinki 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 ### Is Helsinki mainly a gateway? For many visitors, yes, but that is an advantage. Guests transiting to Lapland are an easy audience for short, high-margin city experiences. ### Does the ferry audience matter? Considerably. Baltic ferry arrivals are a large, price-aware audience that books on their phones that books very close to the experience. ## Operators in Helsinki [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.
