There are multiple points within an tour where customers view your content. Understanding the purpose of each, can help you frame the content.
Tour Summary
This is what people see when they are scrolling through tours. They see the title, preview images and the summary. The summary should be descriptive and short. A hook to entice people to click into the tour and review.
Tour highlights
What people will see goes here. You detail what you will see and more importantly why its interesting or exciting to take your tour.
Elements to include are:
- Highlights
- What they will experience, explore or taste
- Any hidden local gems. Secret or unexpected points in a tour create more interest, which is why we at Ylore, created Pop Ups – little points which highlight points or local food and drink options. You don’t have to list Pop Ups in the tour highlights if you want to keep some mystery, and also protect your network.
