In response to last week's newsletter titled "Is Food Tourism making a comeback?"
Food tourism has always been a part of the travel experience and it's not new.
Since 2015, I have been writing about local and authentic food experiences on Authentic Food Quest, a food and travel website I co-founded at www.authenticfoodquest.com
The goal has always been and continues to be about inspiring people to seek out local food and culinary activities on their travels. We share content about cooking classes, food and wine tours, recipes of emblematic dishes all aimed at helping people experience local culture through food.
Since the pandemic and also keeping with the rise in travel, we've seen an increased consumption in our content. And, when traveling and participating in various culinary activities around the world, we see more people and a higher interest in learning about local foods and drinks.
The key is not to make food tourism a "passing fad." The plat du jour that will be replac...

We are looking for a company that offers a trip builder solution with site and app, that we can add our providers in a database with rates, phones, emails, etc. and also create itineraries to send to our customers. Do you know a company that offers that service?
We at Tripsy might have some of the features you need right now, and we certainly have an excellent solution for sharing itineraries with your clients on the web and via our iPhone/iPad/Mac app. Here's our post on the community:

Wow there are so many, depends what you are looking for specifically?
We are looking for a software where we can create a database to build budgets or quotes, calculate margins, final sales rates, and also create a nice layout for customers showing their final rate and itinerary.
If you need a professional web application that can centralise all your supplier information and streamline your travel production, try Ezus (ezus.io).
On top of that, the software is coupled with the best budgeting system for travel professionals to quickly calculate margins, commissions and sales prices in any situation.
Finally, the functionalities range from CRM, to the generation of Travel Documents (the plus is the customisation of templates) to the online publication of holidays, via the management of supplier reservations and the financial aspects of an agency.
The software is used by over 400 DMCs, travel or MICE agencies.
Super! Thanks we will check the site.
And Spanish is amid the available languages ;)
Dear Patricia Rosas,
It's Tung, Head of Product at Designer Journeys, reaching out to you with an exciting opportunity. While we might not be the biggest name in the industry, we're doing something pretty awesome that's similar to Echochile Travel, albeit in different markets.
You've got to check out this link: www.designerjourneys.com/trip-gallery/9-day-authentic-samurai-and-sake-experience-1792034442. It's a sneak peek into the incredible level of detail our trip plan builder offers. Not only that, but it's also the secret sauce behind our ability to create tailor-made trips that blow traditional conversion rates when responding to our users' inquiries.
Given our shared business models, I can't help but feel that a partnership between us would bring lots of mutual benefits. We've got a lot to gain from joining forces! So, drop me an email at tung.tran@designerjourneys.com, and let's get the ball rolling on this exciting collaboration.
Best Regards,
Tung
Head of Product Designer Journeys
Patricia,
If you also need a solution for managing group itineraries, payments and pre-trip preparation, YouLi (go.youli.io) lets you build traveler portals where they can see personalized itineraries, pricing package options, add-ons, their up to date invoice and all their pre-trip tasks. That means everything they need in one place, with automated reminders to ensure they pay on time and a sophisticated task system, so they don't ignore your pre-departure emails requiring waivers, passports, flights and packing lists, etc. (Oh, and there's a mobile app for offline itinerary viewing. :)
We support custom itineraries for individuals (like the other platforms mentioned here), but we really shine when you need to manage a group on the same departure. Since we allow you to manage inventory (to avoid overbooking) and split payments so each individual (or couple/family) can pay for themselves even if there is a group leader who requested the initial quote for the tour. This is a great selling point for working with you compared to competitors who might require a single invoice for the whole group.
We integrate with your website, CRM and accounting platforms. Happy to do a demo: sales@youli.team
Thanks Jen.
Has anyone tried Travefy?
We currently work with Travefy, is a great tool to prepare itineraries and send them to the passengers with a great layout. It also has a live chat that all of customers find very useful.
We are looking for an app that allows us to have a database with rates that helps us to create the quote for the itineraries.
I've been using Sygic Travel App. I like the interface and the way I can download the itinerary afterwards
