> Cut marketplace commission and win direct bookings in Madrid. Tourpublish gives Madrid 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 Madrid

A large Spanish and Latin American audience alongside US and European visitors. Evening departures dominate because the city eats late.

## How the Madrid season runs

August empties the city and September refills it. Spring and autumn are the true peaks, with a strong Christmas period.

## The marketplace problem in Madrid

Domestic guests are the cheapest audience to reach directly, and the most expensive to buy through a marketplace that charges the same percentage regardless.

## Why owned distribution wins here

WhatsApp is the default coordination tool for Spanish-speaking groups. A link that survives being forwarded in a group chat is worth more here than a polished landing page.

## What Tourpublish does for Madrid 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 the domestic audience worth targeting in Madrid?

Yes. Domestic and regional guests are a large share of evening demand, and they are the audience marketplaces are worst at reaching.

### Why do evening departures matter so much?

Madrid's eating hours push food and nightlife products late, which creates same-day booking behaviour that needs instant mobile checkout.

> 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

## Best-fit categories in Madrid

- [Food tours booking software Food tours run year round in most cities, with a dip in deep winter and a spike around long weekends and food festivals. Evening departures fill fastest.](https://tourpublish.com/software/food-tours)

- [Walking tours booking software Walking tours are the most weather-sensitive high-volume category. Shoulder months swing hard on forecast, so same-week promotion beats long-lead campaigns.](https://tourpublish.com/software/walking-tours)

- [Day tours booking software 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.](https://tourpublish.com/software/day-tours)

- [Cooking classes booking software Counter-cyclical to outdoor categories. Winter and rainy days are peak, and December gift-voucher demand is a real second season.](https://tourpublish.com/software/cooking-classes)
