Content Solutions for Tour Operators

January 30th, 2013 | Posted by Paul in Content | Tourism Industry - (Comments Off)

It is simple…. modern buyers want rich content and if you do not supply it they will go online and find it. Unfortunaetly when your potential client is online looking for content there are literally 1000s of companies pitching for this business.

The solution is to supply them the latest quality content they need – this is easier said then done!! It is an unrealistic task for a tour operator to collate and manage the quality content modern buyers expect.

Wetu technology has solved the content problem for tour operators – you no longer need to manage content as Wetu will supply it to you with up-to-date in-depth content of your suppliers.

Content is available in the following formats:-

  • CONTENT API – supplies an automated feed to your company that will contually update the information.
  • CONTENT WIDGET – enbed a line of code in your website and  get images, videos, room types & facilities displayed in your product profile (view example)
  • RE-BRANDABLE iBROCHURES – select product iBrochures and re-brand them for you or your agent (view example)
  • Access information MANUALLY as you need it – here

Wetu has created a modern content management solution for tour operators and most of it is free – so please feel free to use it.
