# Create a tour

A tour is anything travellers book with you: a day tour, a multi-day trip, a rental or a pass. Each tour has its own page on your website, with prices, dates and a booking form. You can create unlimited tours on every plan.

::: info Where to find it
Console › Tours › All tours › **New tour**
:::

## Before you start

Have these ready: a name, a short summary, a cover photo, the price per traveller type (for example Adult and Child) and at least one date. You can add everything else later.

::: tip Already have tours on another website?
Choose **Import** on the tours list to create a draft from an existing tour page. See [Import a tour](/tours/import-a-tour).
:::

## Create the tour

1. Go to **Tours** and choose **New tour**.
2. Enter a **Name**, for example "Sunset Kayak Tour", and choose **Create tour**.
3. The tour editor opens on the **Basics** tab. The tour starts as a **Draft**: it isn't visible on your website yet.

## Fill in the tabs

The tour editor has eight tabs. Work through them from left to right.

| Tab | What you set | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Basics | Name, web address, type, time zone, duration, summary; destinations, activities and categories (**Where & what**) | This page |
| Itinerary | Day-by-day plan, altitude profile | [Itinerary and content](/tours/itinerary-and-content) |
| Highlights & FAQs | Highlights, included and not included, trip facts, labels, price shown, FAQs | [Itinerary and content](/tours/itinerary-and-content) |
| Pricing & options | Options, booking mode, traveller types, prices, deposits | [Pricing](/tours/pricing), [Booking modes](/tours/booking-modes) |
| Departures | Dates, times, seats, blocked dates | [Departures and availability](/tours/departures-and-availability) |
| Media | Cover photo, map, gallery, videos, 360° tours, downloads | [Itinerary and content](/tours/itinerary-and-content) |
| SEO | SEO title, meta description, focus keyword, page sections | [SEO](/website/seo) |
| Policies | Booking window, Good to know, payment terms | [Departures and availability](/tours/departures-and-availability) |

## Basics

| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Name | Shown as the page title and in listings |
| Web address | The slug, e.g. `/tours/sunset-kayak-tour`. Changing it later redirects the old address automatically. |
| Type | **Day tour / activity**, **Multi-day trip**, **Rental** or **Pass / ticket** |
| Time zone (where it happens) | Departure times are shown in this time zone |
| Duration | In days for multi-day trips, in minutes for day tours |
| Summary | One or two sentences shown on tour cards and at the top of the page |

Under **Where & what**, add destinations, activities and categories. They power your website's search filters and landing pages. Choose **Save details** and **Save classification**.

## Publish the tour

The **Publish checklist** on the right tracks what's left: add an option, add traveller types, set prices, schedule departures, write the itinerary, add highlights and inclusions.

A tour can be published once it has:

1. at least one option,
2. at least one traveller type (for example Adult), and
3. a price for at least one traveller type.

Choose **Publish** at the top of the editor. Choose **View on website** to check the live page. To take it offline, choose **Unpublish**.

::: warning Departures
A published tour without upcoming departures shows "No open dates right now" and invites an enquiry instead of a booking. Add departures before you promote it.
:::

## Manage your tours

The **All tours** list shows status, from-price, next departure, bookings in the last 30 days, seats booked and SEO score.

- Filter by **Published**, **Drafts** or **Archived**, and by type.
- Sort by newest, name, next departure, lowest price or most booked.
- Select several tours and use **Bulk actions** to publish or unpublish them.
