6. Using Pre-Built Destinations to Create a Multi-Destination Itinerary

This tutorial covers using the Pre-built Destination Pages as the basis for a multi-itinerary trip.

To begin with, think of the process as creating a “Parent” Minisite and then Children Destination Minisites.

The “Parent” Minisite contains the information that pertains to the entire trip, such as the itinerary, important client information, vouchers, and insurance. 

The “Children” Minisites are the individual pre-built Destination Pages. These are fully customizable, and you can save them from trip to trip so you can use it later. This is very helpful if the destination is one where you often send clients.

The Parent Minisite is essentially the “wrapper” about the trip that the destination sites supplement with destination-specific information.

You can customize the Parent and the Children Destination Minisites to the extent you want. Thus, the Parent site will almost always have your company logo, your social block, and perhaps other elements that will complement any trip any client takes.

On the Children Destination Mini-Sites, however, you may opt not to place your company logo and social block since those elements are already on your Parent “wrapper.” If you want to do so, you may, it is totally up to you.

In this example, the mini-site on the left is the Parent Mini-site. It contains information about the entire trip, the itinerary, perhaps some clocks, and the currency converter. Importantly, it also includes client information such as travel documents, passport copies, or insurance for the trip.

The two Destination Pages are Pre-built Children Mini-sites. One for Oxford and one for London in this example.

Let's see how quickly and easily we can build a multi-destination trip.

First, let's build the parent. Using your template, build the parent site out. Remember, you want to include information here that pertains to the entire trip. Now, back up to your Links, and let's create your London Guide using a pre-built destination page.

Click "Create Link From Destination Page." Choose "London," and the Pre-Built London page appears. Next, click "Clone Destination Page," which duplicates the page in your account. You can now customize this page to what ever degree you wish. You can change out the photo if the one we selected does not appeal to you or if it does not work with your logo. One thing you almost certainly will want to add, however, is a link block to London Activities through whatever supplier you are using to earn in-destination commissions. Using a Link Block, you will add your affiliate link from your supplier, format your button, and you are done. Then, copy the link to your London Child Mini-Site and add it as a link block to your Parent Client Mini-site.

Then, do the same thing for your next destination, Oxford. Using the very same procedure, build out your second destination.

Again, if you sell the same cruise itinerary or particular destinations repeatedly, I would hang onto those and keep them for your later use with other clients and just duplicate them when needed.
