How French attractions & activity providers can increase bookings with bookingkit & Alentour

Alentour was born out of a joint venture between Amadeus and the Banque des Territoires (Caisse des Dépôts Group) as the tourism platform as part of the France Recovery Plan. The platform is set to become the most important aggregator of tours, activities & attractions within the French tourism industry in two years. By combining activities from different sources via API and connecting those offers to a growing number of resellers (even to destinations and DMOs later in 2021), Alentour is a platform that attractions and activity providers in France should definitely consider, and that is exactly why bookingkit and Alentour have agreed on a technology partnership.  

In fact, we see a great opportunity to help reshape the French tours, activities and attractions landscape into a truly open, interconnected ecosystem – a perfect example and blueprint for other European markets as well.

bookingkit and Alentour technology partnership

bookingkit is one of Alentour’s first syndication partners and will therefore also be one of the first booking systems to support their start in France with perfectly matching connectivity. Having worked directly with Amadeus and integrated all of the most important international marketing channels, bookingkit has deep knowledge about the importance of streamlined digital workflows. 

As soon as the new platform is launched on September 30, 2021, operators of tours, activities and attractions all over France that use bookingkit as their preferred booking solution will be able to participate in this huge business opportunity to grow their customer base across all connected resellers.
