3.1 Creating & editing trip listings

Each trip listing represents a specific itinerary or experience that travellers can enquire about. Clear, well-presented trips help people quickly understand what you offer and decide whether to get in touch.

To add a new trip, go to Trips in the partner dashboard and select Create New Trip.

You’ll see a form with several fields describing the trip. Complete all fields to create your listing.

Most fields are self-explanatory, but play closer attention to the following:

Tagline

A short sentence describing the trip.

Keep this clear and descriptive rather than promotional. The aim is to quickly explain what the experience involves.

Examples:

• Explore Kakadu’s wetlands, waterfalls and Aboriginal heritage sites

• A two-day wildlife and cultural journey through Litchfield National Park

• Trekking through remote valleys in the Pamir Mountains

Avoid overly promotional phrases such as “the ultimate adventure” or “a once-in-a-lifetime experience”. Let the destination and experience speak for themselves.

Overview

This is the main description of the trip.

Use this space to give travellers a clear sense of the experience. A few concise paragraphs are usually enough.

You might include:

• A short overview of the itinerary

• The main places or highlights

• What makes the experience distinctive

• Any key details travellers should know

Focus on helping travellers understand what the trip involves rather than trying to “sell” it.

Trip Photo

Upload a representative image for the trip.

The best photos show clients experiencing the destination, for example:

• Guests exploring the landscape

• Wildlife encounters

• Cultural experiences

• Key locations featured in the itinerary

Images that show people enjoying the experience often help travellers picture themselves on the trip.

As with all images on Horizon Guides, you must have the right to use the photo and ensure you hold the appropriate copyright or usage permissions.

Editing published trips

You can edit existing trips at any time by going to Trips in the partner dashboard and selecting Edit next to the trip you want to update. The editing process is the same as creating a new trip.

Hiding published trips

You can hide trips from your profile by using the “Show/Hide” toggle. This does not delete your trips permanently, but allows you to temporarily remove them from your profile – for example, if departures are full or availability is limited.

After submitting/editing a trip

New or edited trips are reviewed before they appear on Horizon Guides. When approved, they will become visible to travellers browsing relevant destinations and experiences.
