Suppliers: Adding Hotels and Restaurants to your Itinerary

1. Accessing the Itinerary Section:

  • Go to the itinerary icon on the left side of your screen.
  • Note: As you build your itinerary, consider clicking on 'hidden' status. This ensures your advisors don't see the changes in real-time. Switch it to 'published' once you've finalized everything.

2. Understanding the Four Key Icons:

  • Hotel Stay: Used if there's an overnight stay.
  • Site Inspection: Use this if only visiting a place, like for a meal.
  • Restaurant: To add dining experiences.
  • Other: Anything else not listed above.

3. Adding a Hotel:

  • Click on the 'Hotel Stay' icon.
  • FamGuru's integration with Google makes it simple to search for hotels.
  • If your hotel doesn’t appear (maybe it's new or obscure), you can manually input its details.
  • Once you've chosen a hotel, details like address, postal code, and website will auto-populate.
  • Input check-in and check-out dates and times. Remember, use realistic arrival and departure times for the purpose of your famtrip.
  • You can also add contact details, descriptions, images, and files related to the hotel.

4. Adding a Restaurant:

  • The process is quite similar to adding hotels.
  • Click on the 'Restaurant' icon.
  • Search for the restaurant. If it's on Google, it'll appear.
  • If you can’t find your restaurant, don’t fret. Use the 'Other' booking option to manually add it.
  • Once chosen, fill in the dining date and time.

5. Key Takeaways:

  • Descriptive Information: Ensure you offer a comprehensive description of the hotel or restaurant, along with good quality photos. This not only informs the advisors but also allows them to promote their upcoming trip on social media platforms.
  • Site Inspection: This process mirrors the 'Hotel Stay' but without a check-out date.
  • Other Booking: If a location or event doesn’t fit into the above categories or doesn't appear on Google, use this option.
