Circuit Bookings

Create circuit bookings (multi-destination trips) in Tourpaq Office using multiple hotels and one-way transports. Includes prerequisites and example itinerary.

Overview

Circuit bookings in Tourpaq Office (BackOffice) let you create a multi-destination booking (also called a multi-hotel booking) inside one booking.

Unlike a standard booking with one hotel and a return transport, a circuit booking can combine:

• Multiple hotels, potentially located in different resorts or even countries.

• Multiple transports, often one-way flights, to build a multi-leg itinerary.

---

Purpose

• To provide greater flexibility in travel planning.

• To accommodate multi-destination trips under one booking record.

• To allow users to tailor customer journeys with varied hotels and transport legs.

---

Preconditions (required setup)

• One-way transports must be enabled in the system.

• Custom hotel days must be enabled for hotels.

• Related price lists supporting custom hotel days and multiple one-way flights must be configured.

• Users should refer to:

  • Price List Custom Hotel days Service for hotel duration setup.

  • Multiple one way flights bookings for transport setup.

How to create a circuit booking (workflow)

Use this flow when you need a multi-leg itinerary with multiple hotel stays.

1

1. Create a new booking draft

Start in New Booking.

Set passengers first. Then build the itinerary.

2

2. Add the first transport leg (one-way)

Select the outbound one-way transport for the first destination.

Confirm dates and gateways. This sets the first leg of the route.

3

3. Add the first hotel stay (custom hotel days)

Select the hotel for destination 1.

Set the stay length using custom hotel days.

4

4. Add the next transport leg + hotel stay (repeat)

Add the “middle” one-way leg to the next destination.

Then add the next hotel stay with the correct nights.

5

5. Add the final return leg and save

Add the last one-way leg back to the home gateway.

Review the full itinerary. Then save the booking.

Best practices (avoid common mistakes)

• Build legs in chronological order.

• Check each leg’s date and time before you add the next.

• Confirm each hotel stay matches the intended nights.

• If you are rescheduling, copy passengers first. See Copy Booking.

Key benefits

• Combine multiple hotels within a single booking.

• Manage hotels across different resorts or countries seamlessly.

• Use multiple one-way flights to match complex travel itineraries.

Example itinerary (circuit booking)

Example: two hotels in different countries connected by one-way transports.

• Leg 1 (one-way transport): Billund → Palma (Mallorca), 21.05.2020 09:15–11:15

• Hotel stay 1 (custom hotel days): 7 nights, 21–28 May

• Leg 2 (one-way transport): Palma (Mallorca) → Porto Santo, 28.05.2020 07:15–10:45

• Hotel stay 2 (custom hotel days): 7 nights, 28 May–4 June

• Leg 3 (one-way transport): Porto Santo → Billund, 04.06.2020 09:30–11:00

In this example, the booking includes two hotel stays in two countries.

The stays are connected by three one-way transports. Each transport leg must exist in Tourpaq.

FAQ

When should I use a circuit booking?

Use a circuit booking when the itinerary has multiple hotel stays and/or multiple transport legs (often one-way flights) that can’t be handled as a single “out + home” package.

What’s required for circuit bookings to work?

You typically need:

• One-way transports enabled.

• Custom hotel days enabled for relevant hotels/price lists.

• Price lists that support custom hotel days and multiple one-way flights.

See:

• Price List Custom Hotel days Service

• Multiple one way flights bookings

Can a circuit booking span multiple resorts or countries?

Yes. That’s a common use case.

Each hotel stay and each transport leg must be available and defined for the brand/agency setup you book under.

Why can’t I find the “middle” transport leg (between two destinations)?

Circuit bookings depend on every leg being defined (for example: A → B, B → C, C → A).

If a leg is missing, check:

• the transport is created and enabled

• the date range is valid for the leg

• allotment and/or stop-sale rules aren’t blocking it

• your filters aren’t hiding it

Does Tourpaq automatically build the route for me?

No. You select the transports and hotel stays in the booking flow.

Treat it like building a multi-leg itinerary. Verify dates and sequence before saving.

What should I double-check before sending tickets/documents?

Always verify:

• leg order and dates (outbound, middle legs, return)

• each hotel stay dates match the intended nights (custom hotel days)

• passenger names and birthdates (pricing can depend on age)

• the ticket output shows all legs and stays as expected
