Island Tour Booking System: 150% More Direct Bookings

The Problem: Busy Tours, But Website Doesn’t Sell

A Samui tour company handles 50-100 customers daily, yet their website had no booking system. Customers had to:

• Call the office
• Message via LINE
• Wait 2-3 hours for confirmation

The Result:

• Many customers switched to Agoda/GetYourGuide
• Admin staff overwhelmed but bookings didn’t grow
• No data on past bookings (everything in Excel)

Key Tips

1. Keep the form simple (date, tour type, guests)
2. Confirm via both LINE and email to avoid no-shows
3. Upsell during booking (“Add afternoon option?”)
4. Save customer data for repeat visit offers

A tour company using Excel + LINE is like plastic chairs - it works, but it’s not professional.
