Tour Manager
The Tour Manager (labeled Tour Programs Manager on the page itself) lets you create and manage reusable tour templates and their variations. Templates define the core itinerary, while variations represent specific versions (budget tier, group type, pax range) that feed into B2B pricing. Find it in the sidebar under Tours → Tour Manager.
Key Concepts
Tour Template
The master tour program with a name, code, duration, cities covered, theme, and a day-by-day itinerary. Example: “4-Day Cairo & Alexandria Luxury Tour”.
Tour Variation
A specific pricing version of a template. Each variation has its own budget tier (Budget, Standard, Deluxe, or Luxury), group type, and min–max pax range. One template can have multiple variations.
Viewing Templates
Navigate to Tours → Tour Manager in the sidebar. The page shows:
- Stats Cards — Totals for templates, variations, active, and featured
- Search — Matches template name, code, or city
- Filters — Separate Theme and Type dropdowns, plus an Active Only / Show All toggle
- View Modes — Table, card grid, or compact list
- Browse Tours — A header link that jumps to the public-facing Tour Inventory page
The table view shows one row per template with columns: Template, Type, Duration, Cities, Variations, Status, Actions.

Creating a Template
1. Manual Creation
- Click Add Template
- Fill in: template name, tour type, duration, cities covered, theme
- Open the day builder (Edit Days) to define the day-by-day itinerary — you can search your attractions database and add sites directly to each day
- Save the template
2. Duplicate an Existing Template
Use the Duplicate action on any template to create a copy with a new code automatically assigned — the fastest way to create a similar program.
3. Auto-Created from New Quote
When you build a quote in New Quote with the client type set to B2B, saving it automatically creates a tour template and its first variation, then redirects you to the B2B Price Calculator for that variation.

Bulk-creating from a CSV
When you have many tours to load, you do not have to add them one by one. The header carries Sample CSV, Export and Import: download the sample, put one tour per row, and import.
A bulk import creates the flat metadata — code, name, type, duration, cities, descriptions and the featured/active flags. It does not carry the day-by-day itinerary, hotels or variations, which you build per tour in the editor afterwards. Import matches on the template code, so re-importing an existing code updates its metadata and never touches an itinerary you have already built.
Managing Variations
Expand any template to see its variations. Each variation chip shows:
- Variation Name
- Budget Tier — Budget, Standard, Deluxe, or Luxury
- Group Type and min–max pax range
- Calculator Link — Click the calculator icon to open the B2B Price Calculator for this variation
Use Add Variation to add a single variation. If a template has no variations yet, the empty state offers a bulk-add that creates all four tiers (Budget, Standard, Deluxe, Luxury) in one click.
Template Status
- Active — Available for pricing and quoting
- Inactive — Hidden by default; switch the toggle from Active Only to Show All to see them
- Featured — Starred templates get a star badge and are counted in the Featured stat card
Scheduling Departures
Templates define the what; Tour Departures (Operate → Tour Departures) defines the when. Create dated departures on top of a template to schedule and operate actual trips. See Tour Departures for details.
