Tour operating software

Software for multi-day trips and tour operating

Do you organise multi-day trips with your own coaches or buses? BusLinq has a complete tour operating module for creating trips, processing bookings, setting up payment plans and selling online via a public booking page. The tour operating module is an extension of the BusLinq base package for coach companies — a platform specifically developed for companies that deploy their own buses for trips, charters and group transport. BusLinq is not suitable for pure travel agencies or booking companies without their own fleet.

The challenges of organising multi-day trips

Organising multi-day trips requires more than a spreadsheet: capacity monitoring, payment follow-up, room allocation, participant communication and passenger logistics all need to align. Without central software, errors creep in and administration takes too much time.

Process bookings with participant registration (name, date of birth, passport number)
Set up payment plans: deposit + balance, automatic reminders
Pay online via Mollie or PayPro (iDEAL, Bancontact, credit card)
Rooming management: assign participants to room types
Travel documents PDF, rooming list for the hotel, campaign links for travel agencies

Features for tour operating and multi-day trips
