| Why list
with Find Tours? |
| What
is Find Tours? |
|
Find Tours is an independent
South African tours website for the listing and advertising
of all types of tours.
We are not a tour operator, but rather an online marketing
portal aimed at providing targeted leads, referrals and
bookings to tour companies.
In today’s highly competitive
tourism market you need to get as much exposure as possible.
Find Tours provides
an online channel to market your tours to travelers looking
specifically for a niche South African tour experience |
|
|
| How
do we market the website? |
|
The Find Tours website
has been well optimized for organic search engine placement
and we will continue to follow this strategy actively
as subscribers to the site grow. We also pursue a paid
link building and search strategy to draw targeted traffic
from Google. The site is promoted through international
and
local
online travel directories, search portals and South African
Tourism organisations.
Our continued approach is to develop
and publish quality tour and destination information
in support of drawing
qualified traffic to the tour listings and advertising.
We
maintain strict quality control standards for all published
information and photographs to ensure a good
experience for site visitors and a high level of return
traffic.

|
| |
| Commission
Free – Deal direct and save |
|
| We put you, the tour
operator directly in contact with people seeking tours
in South Africa.
The client saves money and you can charge a higher rate
because no commission is being taken off by an agent. |
|
| |
| Value
for money advertising |
|
Our competitive advertising
rates and choice of packages offer extremely good value
when compared to many competitor websites and the cost
of producing and distributing printed marketing material.
How
do we do this? Our systems and website are efficiently
run and this allows us to pass on these savings to
you the advertiser. |
|
| |
| But
I have my own website |
|
Although many tour
companies have their own websites, maintaining visibilty
on search engines and updating content is a time consuming
and labour intensive process. You need to concentrate
on your core business of providing quality travel experiences
to your clients while we focus on marketing your tours
online.
At FindTours we make it our business
to constantly seek the best exposure for the website
through building and
maintaining an aggressive search placement policy. |
|
| |
| We
specialise in Tours |
|
| Many websites offer
tour listings as a sideline to accommodation and other
travel services. Find Tours specialises only in tours
which means we draw qualified traffic from both local
and international travelers who are searching for organised
tours as part of their travel plans in South Africa. |

| Other Questions? |
| |
| How
will my tour and tour company stand out on the Find Tours site? |
|
You will be easy to
find under our specific categories. The length of the
tour and its departure city or location will further
differentiate you to visitors who are usually looking
for these specifics. We are aiming to get a broad spread
of tours from across the country under each category
so there are not too many of the same tour type in each
location.
The quality and persuasiveness of the descriptions
and photographs you submit will help greatly in getting
visitors to explore your tour further and make an enquiry
or booking. There are also opportunities to advertise
your tours on our banners and buttons, on the home
page, and in our newsletter. See
our content guidelines. |
|
| |
| Can
a tour list under multiple categories? |
|
| Yes, if for instance
your tour is a Day Tour and a Wine Tour as well, it will
automatically get listed under both categories. We will
make the final decision on your requested category selections
to ensure they are appropriate to the nature of your
tour. |
|
| |
| Can
you create a new category for my tour? |
|
| Yes we can create any
number of categories as the need arises |
|
| |
| Can
I link to my own website as well? |
|
| Yes, links to your
Tour Company website are provided for on the Directory
Page, the Tour Companies page and the Tour Company Details
page. |
|
| |
| Can
I decide on the format of my tour information? |
|
| The short listings
under Directory, Tour Companies and Tour Categories have
been made a fixed format for consistency. We have a number
of different Tour Page templates to choose from and will
select the one that best fits your particular tour information. |
