Fill Tours Without Losing the Guest

Marketplaces can take around 20% and keep the customer relationship. Kora helps tour operators take direct bookings, manage slot capacity, collect payment, and keep guests prepared before arrival.

Prepaid checkout, slot capacity, and automated reminders for direct tour bookings.

Marketplace dependence

Stop Renting Your Audience

Airbnb Experiences and similar channels can bring demand, but the fee can take a large share of each booking. Kora gives you a direct booking page for guests who already know your brand, so you can keep more revenue and own the follow-up.

Marketplace booking

Strong discovery, but high take rates and limited control over the guest relationship after the transaction.

Direct booking with Kora

A branded direct online booking page for capacity, payment, and guest data your team can use again.

Scale

What Breaks When More Guests Book

Manual reservations get messy with more start times, guides, groups, and meeting-point details.

Oversold seats

Capacity slips past what the room, boat, or guide can safely cover for a fixed departure.

Group message threads

Coordinating headcount across DMs and email burns time before every tour.

Late arrivals

Guests miss start times when reminders and meeting-point details live only in someone's inbox.

Lost guest data

Harder repeat business when guest history stays inside a marketplace profile.

Workflow

From Published Tour to Prepared Guest

Kora is the operating flow from listing to confirmed guest—with payment and reminders, not just a calendar link.

1
Publish the tour

Define experiences, start times, and capacity your way.

2
Set capacity

Slot inventory reflects seats, guides, vehicles, or rooms.

3
Guest books a group

One checkout can cover multiple seats with clear totals.

4
Payment collected

Prepaid bookings secure the spot before the tour fills.

Then automated confirmations and reminders go out so guests show up informed—fewer last-minute questions for your guides.

Platform

Built for Tour Operations

01
Sell the Right Number of Seats

Tours depend on fixed times, limited capacity, and real-world resources. Kora lets you manage slot-based availability so a sunrise kayak tour, walking tour, tasting, or charter can only sell the seats you actually have.

02
Make Group Reservations Easier

Guests can book multiple spots in one checkout instead of calling or sending a message thread. Your team gets a clearer view of who is coming, how many seats are taken, and which tours still have room.

03
Prepare Guests Before They Arrive

Automated reminders help guests remember start times, meeting points, and what to bring. That means fewer late arrivals, fewer support questions, and a better experience before the tour even begins.

04
Own the Guest Relationship

Keep guest details in your business so every booking can become repeat revenue—not a one-off marketplace transaction.
