Getting Started: Create a Trip Page in Brochure Mode

Brochure Mode allows you to gather interest from Travelers but not accept bookings.

Adding PeopleWhat is Brochure Mode?

BROCHURE MODE allows you to gather interest from your Travelers by displaying a captivating itinerary but not accepting bookings.

This option is great for Trip Planners who want to share trip options with their Travelers, where they can respond with what packages, activities, and add-ons they are interested in.

When to use Brochure Mode?

Use BROCHURE MODE when you are not ready to take bookings or payments. Here are some cases where Brochure Mode will come in handy:

  • When you do not have set dates
    • You can create a TASK to gather information on when interested travelers would be available to attend the trip.
  • When you are trying to gather interest in events, activities, or packages, you plan to offer on a trip.
    • Use add-ons and TASK to collect interest
  • To gather interest in a private trip
    • Brochure Mode is a great tool to advertise private trips. You can reach out to travelers who Express Interest and build a private trip just for them in BOOKINGS MODE

TIP: When you are ready to start taking bookings, you can change the existing trip to BOOKINGS MODE at any time, or you can copy the trip that is in Brochure Mode from your dashboard. That way, you do not need to recreate the trip.
