City Guide: The Upsell You’ve Been Missing

Simple travel tips that boost trust and your sales.

Why should a traveler book with you instead of the agency next door? Price matters. So does speed. But most travelers also want local help when they arrive. That’s where the TTS City Guide comes in.

By adding a simple Guide link to every itinerary, you remove stress, build trust, and unlock new ways to earn, without needing extra software.

What Is the TTS City Guide?

The City Guide is a short, mobile-friendly webpage about one city. It’s hosted by TTS but free for anyone to use, even if they don’t work with TTS tools.

Each Guide includes:

• Getting Around – Airports, rail stations, public transport, travel tips.
• Things to See – Popular sights like the Colosseum, the Eiffel Tower, or New York’s Statue of Liberty
• Food & Nightlife – Top spots in each neighborhood.
• Events – Music festivals, local holidays, art shows.
• Practical Info – Safety tips, emergency numbers, currency, SIM cards.

It’s in English by default, but a Google Translate button lets clients read it in other languages too.

Why Travelers Love It

1. Quick Info = Less Stress New cities can feel confusing. With local transport tips and top sights clearly listed, travelers relax faster. A family landing in Rome knows which metro line goes where. A solo traveler in Miami learns how to use the free Metromover.

2. Fewer Searches, More Trust Instead of looking through blogs or forums, clients use the Guide you gave them. It builds confidence in your service and saves time.

3. Works Anywhere, Anytime The Guide loads fast on any phone. TTS keeps it updated, so you don’t need to resend files or check for new info.

4. Fewer Support Messages Basic questions, like tipping, emergency numbers, or opening hours, are already answered. That means fewer late-night texts for you.

How It Helps You Sell More

Each part of the Guide gives you a chance to offer something extra, without sounding like a sales pitch.

For example:

• Popular sights - Offer skip-the-line tickets: “Avoid the two-hour queue at the Colosseum.”
• Transport tips - Suggest a private airport transfer: “Get to your hotel with no delays.”
• Day trips - Sell small group tours: “Spot wildlife in the Everglades with a local guide.”
• Food - Recommend a tasting tour: “Explore Tsukiji Market with a guide and taste fresh sushi and street snacks.”
• Events - Offer ticket add-ons: “Catch Art Basel’s VIP night.”

Because your offers match what they’re reading, clients feel like you’re helping, not pushing.

When to Share the Guide

1. During the Quote Add the link next to each city. Label it “Local travel tips included.” It shows extra value early.

2. In the Confirmation Email Say: “Pages 4–5 have day trip ideas, let me know if anything sounds fun.”

3. One Week Before Travel Send a message: “I noticed the Rome Jazz Festival is happening. Want me to book tickets?” (The idea came from the Guide.)

4. During the Trip Keep the link in WhatsApp. When clients ask questions, the Guide often has the answer.

5. After the Trip Ask: “What part of the Guide helped you most?” Use answers to plan better next time.

Final Tips

• Use simple English in your messages too, many clients aren’t fluent.
• Add short, clear calls to action like “Click to reserve your Vatican pass.”
• Don’t overload with extras. Two or three is enough.
• Track which links get clicks. Over time, you’ll know what to offer.
• Check the Guide each season, as new events can bring easy upsell chances.
