We have had a very large swing towards people booking directly instead of coming through the OTA's this year.
We use Bokun as a booking provider and have been looking at WeTravel & Ventrata all of which have some good and some bad points to them.
The thing im trying to streamline is the guide management part, ideally if we could do that within the booking system then great, but they all have there limitations.
Just wanted to ask the community what you do? What systems you use and if you have any ideas i could look at.
Hi Annalie, My booking system does that for me already, but its hard to seperate when you have 4/5 tours in a day, im testing colour coding at the moment, also a diary entry with the specific guide invited, all still in test mode :-)
How do you manage your guides diaries and do you use a booking system for this?

Are you doing day tours or multi-day tours?
Hi jen, thanks for commenting, we do both day and multiday tours, they are always full days, and always private tours :-)
No, jot all events down on my calendar.
