Overview 

TripBuilder allows the setting of tour categories for templates, modules and activities within the inventory. Since multi-day tours and activities can be categorised in different ways this feature brings further information about the trip characteristics to the customer. 

Inventory 

In the inventory, it is now possible to set tour categories for

• Templates
• Modules
• Stop activities and Transit activities

Tour categories can be enabled on the "Descriptions" tab of the different templates, modules and activities with the use of a toggle. Once this is enabled, it will be possible to select from the following category options. Please note that multiple selections are possible.

Discovery Category Filters 

For the set categories on the template level, a set of advanced discovery filters for these categories can be enabled in settings. 

Templates will be filtered following an “AND” logic, meaning that we will only retrieve the templates that match all the selected categories.
