Template Library
The theme comes with 24 professional website designs that consist of over 300-page layouts that can be imported with one simple click. These templates serve as a great foundation for your website and enable you to build your pages in no-time.
The premium WPBakery page builder that allows visual page editing is also included, thus ensuring there is absolutely no coding knowledge required to use the theme and to create your own, unique and stunning website designs.
The entire interface is user-friendly, so even if you have never worked with WordPress before, you have nothing to fear – the theme is simple to use for beginners and pros alike.
Booking System
Book Your Travel consists of four modules: accommodations, tours, car rentals, and cruises.
They all come with their own individual booking features, pricing settings and are further extendable by types, tags, facilities (where applicable) and other settings.
There is no need to use all of the modules at once – they can be easily turned on and off via theme options, depending on your preferences. So for example, if you run a hotel website and would like to offer daily tours to your guests you can easily do so. Maybe you would even expand your business and provide rent-a-car services as-well.
On your travel website, you can use just one or two of these modules or use the travel agency mode to cross-sell all services in any way you wish.
Book Your Travel provides three business models that you can choose from for each listing you create:
- Inquiry forms are present on every accommodation, tour, car rental, and cruise page. They can be used to contact respective managers and operators directly or to send inquiries to admin or any other email address(es) you specify. You can edit and hide these forms easily.
- Reservation system sends the desired dates as well as customer information to admin or any other email address(es) you specify. Reservation forms are fully editable and you can easily create your own fields to obtain the information you require from your customers.
- Booking system includes user checkout pages with online payment collecting and date blocking when a booking is completed. Booking forms can also be edited from the admin dashboard.
Payment Gateways
Seamless WooCommerce integration allows you to use over 78 payment gateways to collect online payments. You do not want users to pay the full price? No problem, use the deposit (partial payment) setting to let users pay only a percentage of the price to guarantee their booking.
Seasonal Pricing
The booking system allows you to define seasonal pricing to allow for the natural troughs and peaks of your holiday seasons. Thus, you can define an accommodation to be rented at $150 per day from July to August but then drop the price to $100 per day from August to November.
You can also set minimum and maximum adult and child occupancy, prices per each, allowed check-in and out days, minimum and maximum day stays and so on. A tour might cost $50 per person or $200 per group and only be available between the 1st of March and the 30th of September. A car can be rentable only in June and July as well as between December 15 and December 30.
And you may want to offer a cruise on only one day a month for the next 2 years. All of the above are easily achieved with the theme’s booking system. Monthly, weekly, daily or one-off rentals are possible as are weekend prices as well.
You can also design your own vacation packages by creating optional or mandatory booking surcharges that can be priced per item, day, stay or person.
Monetization Options
If you do not have a house to rent or are not a travel operator, you can use the Book Your Travel theme to earn some extra money.
Build a marketplace such as Airbnb, booking.com to showcase hotels, apartments, hostels, villas, a tour marketplace for showcasing trips and tours, a car-sharing website or advertise cruise deals or vacation packages, just to name a few.
Book Your Travel comes will all necessary pages to create your own marketplace where users can rent their properties, tours, car rentals and/or cruises on.
A special registration page that grants these users a different user role, is provided and allows users to access the marketplace area and submit and manage their content, all without accessing your admin dashboard.
Book Your Travel is also the perfect way to use affiliate marketing programs to monetize your travel blog and earn affiliate commissions. Instead of running a booking website, you can drive traffic to your website and use affiliate links.
EU GDPR Tools
Book Your Travel WordPress theme comes with GDPR tools that help you get compliant with the EU GDPR law. When you enable this setting you add the standard checkbox agreement field to contact, reservation, inquiry and reservation forms for compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation.
Documentation and Support
An extensive, step by step user guide is available to help you get started easily. If you will have any questions along the way, a friendly and reliable support team is just a click away at the customer help-desk.
6 months of included support are included with your theme purchase, with an option to extend for 12 more months. Safety and feature updates are released regularly and new features are also often added.
