1. Basic Details: Establishing Your Tour Foundation
Every great tour begins with clear foundational information. The Basic Details section serves as your starting point, where you define the core identity of your travel experience:

- Description: Craft engaging copy that highlights unique features and key selling points
- Primary Destination(s): Specify the main locations covered by your tour
- Duration: Set the overall timeframe from start to finish

Pro Tip:
Invest time in crafting a thorough description—this is often the deciding factor for potential customers. Include unique experiences, special access, or exclusive features that set your tour apart.
2. Itinerary Design: Crafting the Travel Experience
The itinerary is the heart of your tour package. TourSyncer offers flexible options to accommodate different types of travel experiences:
