Listings being copied onto other website
Hi, Has anyone has ever experienced having your listings being copied onto other International Website without your consent? If so, how do you deal with the situation? I have posted my listings on trip advisor. However, the itinerary was copied onto other website (which is based in UK). I know it is my own itinerary since it is offering She Chocolate, which only locals knew about. They are only attainable from their own factory or a designated cafe. No one from UK would know about it. I attached the listings that I posted on viator (trip advisor), and also the listings that is copied onto another website.

I don't know it it is the case bur sometimes those platforms have partners and the tours also apear in those partners. I had bookins on viator but the costumers booked via bookin,com for exemple.

@Elyana Shukri Yes, I expeted that. And you wont get more. The reason the is double is to pay the partner. You'll get the same. Yes its really frustrating.

Advise about booking system
Hi, I'm Catarina. I'd like to know what you think about booking systems like fareharbor. I don't have one on my site at the moment, but I've been thinking about it. This is my site (www.moonshadowtours.com) and I'd like to make it easier to book, but I'm afraid it might be confusing for the customer.

@Sofia Tripa I think it might be confusing because at the moment I only have a calendar and a form for customers to respond to, and I only send the payment links once I've confirmed availability.
Marketing Without Social Media
Marketing your travel business in a world where social media platforms like TikTok might not always be an option. For travel advisors, this is a chance to rediscover powerful, timeless strategies to keep your business thriving. Let’s get started! 1. Build a Strong Digital Home Base Your website is your storefront. Make it shine! - Optimize your website for search engines so clients can easily find you. Think about phrases like “customized India tours” or “luxury travel getaways.” - Include engaging content like blogs, client testimonials, and detailed itineraries. - Make it easy to book online and use clear calls to action. 2. The Power of Email Marketing Who says email is outdated? It’s still one of the best tools in your arsenal. - Send regular newsletters with travel tips, promotions, and exclusive packages. - Personalize your messages for different groups—family travelers, luxury seekers, or solo adventurers. - Offer something valuable in exchange for email sign-ups, like a free travel guide or checklist. 3. Explore Traditional Media Don’t overlook the power of traditional media! - Advertise in travel magazines and lifestyle publications. - Promote your services through radio or TV ads, especially during peak travel planning seasons. - Share your story or packages in local newspapers to build trust within your community. 4. Host Events to Connect with Clients Building real-world connections can be a game changer. - Organize travel expos or workshops to showcase your expertise. - Host virtual events, like webinars on “How to Plan a Stress-Free Pilgrimage” or “Luxury Travel Tips for 2025.” - Partner with local venues to run in-person travel planning sessions. 5. Collaborate with Influencers—Just Differently You don’t need social media for every collaboration. - Work with bloggers or journalists who can write about your services in travel columns or niche publications. - Set up an affiliate program, rewarding partners who refer clients your way.

8 inquiries 😇
Haven't posted here a lot, but I just wanted to share a little win: I managed to book 8 meetings for my upcoming Portugal trip. It’s just me running everything, and to be honest, I wasn’t sure if the ads would work. I didn’t spend a huge amount, and I had no fancy setup, just a simple little landing page and a lot of testing. Definitely wasn’t smooth the whole way, but seeing some meetings come in is a huge boost for me. Just wanted to share in case anyone else is trying to figure this stuff out too.
