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

US, German and UK visitors on Norway circuits, plus a domestic audience with high disposable income.

## How the Oslo season runs

Summer fjord season and winter snow season are almost separate businesses, with genuinely quiet months between them.

## The marketplace problem in Oslo

Norwegian operating costs are the highest in Europe. A commission percentage applied to a high price does not reflect the thin real margin underneath it.

## Why owned distribution wins here

Most Norway trips are planned as circuits, not single stops. A direct relationship in Oslo can sell the guest their fjord and mountain experiences too.

## What Tourpublish does for Oslo 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 margin so thin despite high prices?

Because Norwegian labour, fuel and compliance costs are correspondingly high. A percentage of the price bears no relation to what is actually left.

### Can I sell beyond Oslo?

Circuit travellers buy several experiences. Owning the first booking is the cheapest way to reach them for the rest of the trip.

> 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
