Group Tour Holidays Overview Tutorial

Tour module is an independent module on Sugati. Tour holidays are package group tours with fixed itineraries and departure dates. To streamline operations, create a Tour Template with its itinerary, then replicate Tours. This simplifies the process, reducing the need to recreate tours from scratch. Once created, manage Enquiries and Bookings by adding passengers to the tour.

Utilise Tour Template Setup to input tour details such as destination, price, and capacity. Create tour itineraries using the Trip Planner tool. The Tour Template features a Checklist Library, aiding in tour preparation. After creating the Tour Template, mark its status as “Built” to indicate completion of the setup process.

With Sugati’s Tour module, generating enquiries, waitlists, room allocation reports, and tour manifest reports is effortless. Pre- and post-nights requirements can be added to individual bookings. Additionally, some clients leverage Sugati API to integrate tour booking processes into their websites.

Supplier Vouchers Tutorial

Supplier Vouchers is an essential tool for enhancing client experience. Supplier vouchers, including Accommodation, Activity, Transfer, and Flight types, are generated from supplier bookings within opportunities.

These vouchers can be saved or emailed directly to clients, providing detailed information on their bookings. Configuration options allow for customisation, tailoring each voucher type to specific needs. Vouchers are generated upon reaching the booked stage, ensuring clients have made at least a deposit payment.

To optimise voucher creation, utilise Supplier Voucher Settings to define components and Supplier Booking fieldsets to set up displayed fields. For agency bookings, personalise vouchers with agency logos, adding a professional touch to client communications.

Booking Cancellation Tutorial

Trips, whether FIT or Group Bookings, can be easily cancelled with Sugati’s one-click booking cancellation feature. Effortlessly process cancellations and apply relevant fees.

In Group Tour, cancelling a booking triggers fee calculations based on predefined rules. You retain the flexibility to override cancellation amounts as needed.

For Bespoke holidays, cancellation occurs in theTrip Planner. Once cancelled, the opportunity status shifts to “Booking Cancelled,” locking it from further amendments. The system then applies the Cancellation Date. You may then send out the Booking Cancellation email manually or automatically using our automation rule engine.

Your system administrator defines cancellation stages and fee rules before bookings can be cancelled.
