The Tour operator plugin has been developed with a range of category types in order to help create a network of interlinking content, allowing users to easily view related posts.

General Categories

Travel Styles

The travel style category type is used to link accommodations with similar methods of travel. It is used by the accommodations, Destinations and Tours post type.

  • Navigate to the backend of your website
  • Hover over the custom “Tour Operator”  menu item
  • Select the “Travel Styles” option from the submenu that appears
  • Add in a new Travel Style by giving it a title (eg: Wildlife Safaris)
  • Configure the slug for the travel style (The “slug” is the URL-friendly version of the name. It is usually all lowercase and contains only letters, numbers, and hyphens.)
  • If you wish to add the travel style as a sub-travel style, select the “Parent” style you wish to assign it too (eg: A sub-travel style for “Wildlife Safaris” could be “Big-5 Safaris”)
