The global multi-day tours market is large, valued at USD69Bn*, yet is highly fragmented and lagging in its adoption of technology.  

1 in 3 multi-day tour operators have no reservations tech, while just 53% of operators employ a dedicated technological platform for their business – the rest using a combination of email, spreadsheets, itinerary builders, and other CRM tools, to manage various aspects of their operations*.  

While traditionally popular escorted and scheduled tours in cultural, sightseeing, leisure, and adventure travel continue to lead the way, custom trip planning has been steadily growing in popularity, along with a rising focus on small group or private tours, with niche trends such as culinary, wellness, etc.* 

Regardless of your business model or online presence, if you are looking to scale your business, partnering with sector experts with a relevant worldwide supply, that can offer seamless digital integration, is the key to offering travellers what they need/want. 

As the largest online global B2B platform providing multi-day tours, Musement’s easy to use and accessible tool is the fastest and simplest way to boost your business’ product catalogue. We offer a dynamic packaging platform with an unbeatable range of experiences that allows you to plan and book personalised itineraries, in real time, from a wide range of hotels, transfer options, excursions and activities. 

What are Fixed or Flex Tours? 

Our fixed tours have been crafted by our local experts, and include accommodation, land transport, guides, services and activities. They are either self-drive, private tours, or small group, seat-in-coach tours, but there is also the possibility of setting up tours that are exclusive to you. 

The fixed tours not only offer travellers the best of each destination, but also a seamless experience in terms of logistics. Fixed tours have limited customisation, however, you can adjust the accommodation categories and board basis, the guide language, and add any optional extras or extensions, e.g., optional excursions, pre & post nights, extra transfers etc.  

Our flexible tours are a key differentiator, with curated inspirational packages that include broad customisation options to best fit the agent or traveller’s needs.  

You can adjust or change the hotel in each stop, change the board basis of the hotel, modify the length of a stay in each stop, add, replace or delete stops within the itinerary, change transfer types (from shared to private, or car rental), select train tickets, add optional extra activities during specific stops, or add extension stays.  

The flexible tours are offered on a private basis, but can include certain products on a shared basis, e.g., shared transfers, shorter seat-in-coach tours, or seat-in-coach activities, allowing you to select the option best suited to your traveller´s needs.
