    About Calendly

    Calendly is meeting scheduling software. You connect your calendar, set when you are free, and share a link so people can pick a time that suits both of you.

    It sends email and text reminders, lets invitees reschedule on their own, and can collect payment when someone books. It also offers routing forms, a notetaker for meeting recaps and a range of calendar and video call connections.

    You can sign up for free, with no credit card needed.

    Pricing: Calendly has a free plan and paid plans. See their website for current plans.

    Why it suits tourism businesses

    Tourism businesses book a lot of conversations: trade partner calls, consultations with wedding and event clients, staff interviews, supplier catch-ups. A booking link means one message instead of five.

    Reminders by email and text cut missed appointments, and payment at booking suits paid consultations or packages. Calendly is for booking meetings, so it does not replace a booking system for tours or stays.
