How to make a website for a tour operator

People joining a trek, a road trip or a group tour want to know exactly what happens each day, who leads the group, where the trip starts and what is included before they pay an advance. A small website that shows your own trips in detail answers that and sends them to your WhatsApp to hold a seat.

What people look for on a tour operator website

Each trip you run, with the number of days, the route and the difficulty or fitness level needed
A day-wise plan: where you stay, how far you travel or walk and what you see each day
Upcoming departure dates for group trips, and whether private dates are possible
The price per person and exactly what it covers: stay, meals, transport, permits, guide
The pickup and drop point, with the time the group leaves
Who leads the trips, their experience and the first-aid training they have
What to pack, the weather in that month and the cancellation terms

The pages your website needs

Home: The kind of trips you run, the next few departures, where trips start from and a WhatsApp button to hold a seat
Trips: Each trip with days, route, difficulty, price per person, inclusions, exclusions and a short day-wise plan
Departures: Fixed group dates for the season for each trip, and how to ask for a private group date
Before you go: What to pack, fitness needed, ID documents to carry, weather by month and the cancellation terms
About and contact: Who runs the trips, the trip leaders, your office address, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button to the pickup point

Sample words for your home page

Small-group Himalayan treks and road trips from Dehradun

Kedarkantha, Har Ki Dun and Chopta treks with trained trip leaders. Groups of up to 15. Send your dates on WhatsApp to hold a seat.

Pahadi Trails has run treks in Uttarakhand since 2014. Our leaders grew up in these valleys, we keep groups small, and we tell you plainly when a trail is too much for a first trek. Every trip starts and ends in Dehradun.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most tour operator websites need these pages: Home, Trips, Departures, Before you go, About and contact.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your tour operator, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for my tour company, Pahadi Trails, on Rajpur Road, Dehradun. We run our own treks and road trips. Pages: home, trips, departures, before you go, and about and contact.

Price includes stay, meals, transport from Dehradun, permits and a trip leader. Groups up to 15. Show a day-wise plan for each trip and a packing list. WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX. Green and white colours.

Tips for a tour operator website

Use photos from your own trips with your groups, and ask the people in them first. Don't use pictures of places you don't take people to.
Write the difficulty honestly, with the longest walking day and the highest point, so people can decide if the trip suits them.
Spell out inclusions and exclusions under every trip, such as mules for bags, offloading charges or the meal on travel day.
Put the cancellation terms and what happens if weather closes a route on the Before you go page, in plain words.
Change the departures page at the start of each season and remove dates that are full.
Show your state tourism registration number if you have one, and add the office to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile.

Good to know

People can't book a seat or pay an advance on the website, and the departures page doesn't count seats by itself; they message you to hold a seat. To keep each departure's travellers, seats and payments in order, a tour operator's app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Can people book a seat on a departure from my website?

Not on the website itself. They tap the WhatsApp button with the trip and date, and you confirm the seat and share how to pay the advance.

Should the website show seats left for each departure?

You can write 'few seats left' or 'full' next to a date and change it in the chat when it fills. The website doesn't update seat counts by itself.

How detailed should the day-wise plan be?

Enough for someone to picture each day: the start and end point, distance or drive time, where the group sleeps and the meals. Long stories can wait for the WhatsApp chat.

Should I show trips I have only planned, not run yet?

Only if you say clearly that it is a new trip with its first departure date. Use photos you took while checking the route, not pictures from elsewhere.

Can the website have a separate page for every trek?

An AppCub website has 4 to 6 pages, so trips usually share one page with a section each. If you run many trips, list the main ones and mention the rest on WhatsApp.

Will trekkers searching on Google find my trips?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with trip names, your address and contact in the format search engines use. Where they appear is Google's decision.
