Tour Series

The Tour Series is a block reservation designed for tours that occur on a regular basis.  Within a Tour Series, there can be one or more products linked via Tour ID with the same or different departures or frequencies.  

Tour Series refers to a collection or series of guided tours or travel packages offered by a tour operator. These tours often follow a specific itinerary, visiting multiple destinations and including various activities or experiences.

TourID and Tourcode are identifiers used to distinguish and manage different tours within a tour operator's system:

TourID: This is a unique identification number or code assigned to a specific package(s).  It helps in tracking, organizing, and managing the details and logistics of a particular tour, such as departure dates, itinerary, pricing, and availability.  Ex: 

 

Tour Code:  Tour Code consists of TourID + Departure-date of the package(s).  Note: This is a system generated value.  This code can be used internally within Softrip to quickly identify and manage different departure dates withing the TourID, making it easier for booking, and operational purposes.

Info

Example:  There are two packages sharing the same itinerary except one of the packages is longer in duration.  In this case, we set the Tour ID to be IE-BST as the common identifier to link the two packages as the same Tour Series. 

Package = 7 Day Best of Ireland

Tour ID = IE-BST

Dep Date:  2/21/2022

Package = 9 Day Best of Ireland

Tour ID = IE-BST

Dep Date:  2/21/2022

Tour Code = IE-BST:2022-02-21

 

For the Tour Series to work properly, prerequisites are as follows:

...

Jump to --> Pricing History:   The process will open as a new tab and display Product Prices history records for those products on the tour.  If you have more than one product in the tour, you can swap by selecting a different product code.
