FAQ

How often are reports published?

TourTrackerPro® Reports are published once each year, generally between late April and early June.

That timing matters because tour operators do not contract hotels, attractions, transportation companies, and other suppliers at the same time. Each operator has its own production cycle for building the following year’s programs, and that cycle can vary by country, travel season, and market segment.

For sales professionals, this creates an important advantage: there is almost always someone planning ahead.

Even if you purchase a Report later in the year, many operators may still be adding new destinations, reviewing hotel partners, changing itineraries, or developing new FIT and Group products. The internet has also made it easier for operators to adjust programs throughout the year rather than working within one rigid planning season.

Because TourTrackerPro continually identifies operators new to our Reports, and because existing operators regularly change or expand their programs, purchasing the current Report each year helps ensure that you are working with the most useful competitive sales intelligence available to you.

The opportunity is not simply in knowing who is operating today. It is in knowing who may be planning tomorrow’s business.

Are TourTrackerPro® Reports a subscription?

No. TourTrackerPro® Reports are not a subscription.

Each report is purchased with a one-time annual fee, and that purchase is your only cost for that Report year.

There are no monthly charges, no recurring fees, and no automatic renewals.

One Report. One Purchase. One Payment.

How do you get the data for your reports?

The information in each TourTrackerPro® Report is researched directly from tour operators’ current brochures, websites, published itineraries, and other publicly available program information.

We begin each new reporting year with fresh, blank template files and rebuild the Reports with current information rather than simply carrying forward the prior year’s data.

Because tour operators continually add, change, and discontinue programs, this annual research process is essential to keeping the Reports useful and relevant.

Our goal is simple: provide current, practical Tour & Travel intelligence that helps you identify real sales opportunities.

Why don't the Reports include tour operators from Asia and Latin America?

TourTrackerPro® focuses on publishing its annual Reports within a practical production window so clients can begin using the information while tour operators are still planning and contracting for upcoming business.

In many parts of Latin America, tour operators release their programs later in the year. Waiting for those programs to be fully published would significantly delay the release of the Reports for everyone else.

Coverage from Asia presents a different challenge. Many source materials are published in languages and writing systems that require additional translation and verification before the information can be used confidently. Historically, the time and cost required to do that accurately has made broad inclusion impractical within our annual production schedule.

We continue to evaluate new research and translation tools that may allow us to expand coverage in the future without sacrificing accuracy, timeliness, or value.

Our priority is not to include more data simply for the sake of volume. It is to provide information that is accurate enough and timely enough to help you sell.
