    About TourCMS

    TourCMS is online booking and channel management software for tour and activity operators, operated by Palisis. It has been available since 2003.

    It includes a booking engine with payment capture, enquiry handling, and one customer and booking database. A single source of product availability helps prevent overbooking across your sales channels.

    Distribution reaches in-destination agents, global online travel agencies and the TourCMS Marketplace. You can keep your own website current through templates, a WordPress plugin, an XML API or a tag-based CMS.

    Pricing: TourCMS is a monthly or yearly subscription with four plans that differ by users, channels and bookings per month. It charges no booking commission and no setup fee, and there is a free trial. Bookings from connected distribution partners carry a per-transaction distribution fee. Prices are shown in US dollars, with a euro option.
