Adding Destination Information to an Itinerary

Destination information are items added to an itinerary and are not associated with a specific supplier. They provide a free-text area to add information and do not correlate to a particular supplier in your Tourwriter database.

Adding destination information

When you choose to add a destination information to an itinerary, there are five options available: Directions, Free time, Overview, Explore and Information. To add a destination information:

1. Select the itinerary from the Itinerary list and move to the Build tab.
2. Navigate to a date in the itinerary and click the + sign.
3. Select Other that appears along with the four main product types.
4. Choose one or more options among Directions, Free time, Overview, Explore or Information.
5. You can increase the quantity using the + button.
6. Click Add.

Note: Based on your selection, you’ll see one or more windows to add information for each destination information.

7. Choose an appropriate title based on the destination information.
8. You may continue to fill out the optional fields, viz: From, To, Start time, End time and Description.

Note: Only Directions has a From and a To field to enter the source and destination locations. The other destination information items let you add a single location.
