It is a fairly common requirement for many tour companies: you offer a very special, unusual tour, which may not always attract many visitors. To run the tour costs time, money, fuel, etc.

Or you may have a one-off class or a course, and you are not sure about how much interest it will attract, and you only want to run it if there are enough participants.

So how do you make sure that you remain profitable, by running a tour or class only when a minimum number of participants is reached?

This is now easy with Bookeo.

It has always been possible to enable the “Accept/deny” feature for a tour or class. When this is enabled, customers do not make a booking online, but only a “Request”. It is up to you then to accept pending requests. When you accept, an email is sent to the customer, and if there is a payment required, the customer must pay within a certain time to confirm the booking.

It is now possible to go even further. You can tell Bookeo to automatically accept pending requests for a tour or class, when a minimum number of participants (across all bookings and pending requests) has been reached.
