Visit TourCMS

TourCMS is an online booking and channel management system operated by Palisis AG for tour and activity operators. It centralizes online and offline bookings, enquiries, customer records, capacity management and distribution into a single web-based system, reducing the risk of overbooking when selling across multiple channels.

Core capabilities include a website booking engine with booking widgets and a WordPress plugin, a public XML API for custom integrations, and adaptive channel management providing real-time availability to OTAs and travel agents. The system supports multi-language content, templated emails and invoices, payment processing through PCI DSS compliant gateways, marketing tracking, and an agent login system. It integrates with Palisis ticketing for check-in and walk-up sales, and connects to other reservation systems. The TourCMS Marketplace links operators with resellers and affiliates, handling availability, pricing, commissions and voucher redemption.

TourCMS is aimed at day tour, hop-on hop-off, multiday tour and attraction operators, as well as DMCs and walking tour companies. It is offered on a free trial with no credit card required, and paid plans are seat-based and channel-based with monthly or yearly billing, tiered by user count, channel count and booking volume. Connected distribution through the API carries a per-transaction fee.
