How to get more client bookings for tourist guides

Joined: 20 Aug 2008 Posts: 6

There are many ways to get client bookings e.g. from travel agents and tour operators.
The feedback is the commission the tourist guide has to pay for these clients is too big, taking away most of the profit.

Therefore, getting your client bookings from anywhere in the world on the internet is a new way forward.
Not just your E-mails address on a basic website - but a real interactive site where the client automatically books you with a credit card - like they do a flight or hotel room.

What do you think?

@daveexplorer,

Good, but in my country Bosnia and neighbour countries like Croatia, Serbia, Monte Negro,...We have limited options for Pay-Pal system.

Banks does not allow our Pay-Pal users to receive money, only to send money by Pay-Pal.

For other countries which are not limited it will work.

Btw, my colleague, she was engaged by Ourexplorer, but she received money ''in cash'.

Client asked her about options of paying and she had to choose option, ''in cash'.

Thanks for the feedback Kostake,

The payment method in OurExplorer is very simple and easy for all tour guides.

1. the tour guide receives 90% of the tour cost in cash from the client on the tour day.
2. 10% is paid by the client to OurExplorer to confirm the tour date - via Paypal or Credit card.

For more information see

It is FREE for you to register on www.ourexplorer.com and enjoy client bookings from around the world.

Happy Exploring!!

Thank you Dave for explaining how it works.

Yes, I am going to register on www.ourexplorer.com, but from some private reasons I am not able to work, to guide tourists in my city, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, temporary.

When I fix my private problems, I will continue to work and register myself at Ourexplorer.

Best regards!
