As the leading Booking and Payment platform for Trip Organizers, we understand the importance of building momentum and creating excitement to increase your bookings and grow your business.
WeTravel has several options built into the trip builder to help you gain that edge over the competition.
Using pre-registration, you can:
Generate interest in your trips
Make better business decisions
Gather leads
Know what your clients are looking for
Only allow specific participants to join the trip
You can have all packages on a trip set to pre-registration or only specific packages within a trip.
Once you set up pre-registration, future participants can leave their phone number and email address on the trip package that interests them. This will give you a list of highly motivated leads to buy, letting you know general interest in any trip before starting to organize said trip and helping you decide where to invest your time and money for the best return.
You can also use the pre-registration list to filter sign-ups and only invite specific participants to the trip. This can be useful if you have limited placements and want to make sure there are enough spaces for those you promised to have a space. Once those spots are filled, you can use the rest of the list to complete your trip.

To show a package as pre-registration only, the trip has to have the following characteristics:
The waitlist is turned on under Trip Basics
The trip is not sold out in group size
Package availability is set as unavailable.
