Hello Alex, Do you have any experience with how to add a bus driver (in our case a third party staff member) room to a booking? I mean: in most cases the bus driver sleeps at the same accommodation as the group. He/she however is not a paying clien…

The suggestion could be that we have a token that is component specific, but lists all tours / options from the same supplier as the single component in that booking. e.g. Supplier A - Tour A - Tour B - Tour C Supplier B - Tour D - Option E - Opt…

Hello Alex, The component specific tokens work greatly. However, it would be even more conveniënt if the options (only from the same suplier ofcourse) that are added to a tour could also be integrated in a token. Is this improvement in the pipe lin…

Minor price change to free TourCMS accounts

Minor price adjustment made today and effective immediately

Free accounts previously could make upto 50 bookings without requiring to upgrade to a paying account. We have now adjusted that number down to 25.

The idea of the free account is to permit easy no obligation evaluation. You can also list in the TourCMS Marketplace with a free account (company listing only, no product distribution).

25th January 2010 - New release - Tweaks to enquiries, emails and bookings

Few changes to report this week

General
* No longer can supply special offer prices when entering quantity based pricing (i.e prices for 1-10 people based on how many people in a booking). Logically it didn't make that much sense to have the special offer loaded just on bookings with 1 person.
* Feedback wall is removed - we love your feedback - but no one was using the feedback wall as originally intended. Please continue to use these forums to tell us what you think!
* Year on year rep… Continue
