How to Add Your Tour Packages

Welcome to ATX Africa, a digital tourism marketplace connecting African tourism businesses with travellers, travel agencies, DMCs and other tourism professionals around the world.

This guide explains how to create and submit your tour packages using the ATX Africa supplier dashboard.

Whether you offer wildlife safaris, mountain trekking, beach holidays, cultural experiences, adventure tours or other tourism activities, you can use this guide to enter your package information, configure pricing and availability, select relevant attributes, and submit your package for activation.

Before you begin, prepare your package title, description, destination, pricing, itinerary, inclusions, exclusions and relevant images. Accurate and complete information helps travellers understand your experience and makes your package easier to discover.

STEP 1: Visit ATX Africa and Click “Login”

Visit the official ATX Africa website:

https://www.atxafrica.com

On the homepage, locate the Login option in the top navigation and click it.

A login window will appear, allowing you to access your supplier account.

Why do you need to log in?

Your tour packages are created and managed inside your ATX Africa account. Logging in gives you access to your supplier dashboard, where you can manage your company profile, create tours, review bookings and access other available account features.

If you do not yet have an account, click Sign Up and complete the registration process before continuing.

Important: Always use the official ATX Africa website when accessing your account.

STEP 2: Enter Your Email Address and Password

After clicking Login, a login form will appear with the following fields:

• Email address
• Password
• Remember me
• Forgot Password?
• LOGIN

Email address

Enter the email address you used when registering your ATX Africa account.

Make sure the email address is correct and that you can access it. This is important because your account-related communication and password recovery may depend on it.

Password

Enter the password associated with your account.

Passwords are case-sensitive, so ensure that you enter the correct combination of letters, numbers and special characters.

Remember me

The Remember me checkbox allows you to keep your login session remembered, depending on your browser and account settings.

Only use this option on a personal or trusted device. Avoid enabling it on a public computer or a device shared with people you do not trust.

Forgot Password?

If you cannot remember your password, click Forgot Password? and follow the password recovery instructions.

LOGIN

After entering your email address and password, click LOGIN to access your account.

Security reminder: Never share your password with unknown individuals. Keep your account credentials secure.

STEP 3: Confirm Your Account and Open the Account Menu

After successfully logging in, look at the upper-right corner of the website.

You will see your account name or account menu. Click on it to open the available account options.

In the screenshot, the account menu includes:

• Vendor Dashboard
• My profile
• Messages
• Booking History
• Change password
• My plan
• Logout

What should you do at this stage?

Confirm that you are logged into the correct supplier account before continuing.

If you manage more than one tourism business or account, make sure you are using the account where you want to create the package.

Why is this important?

Your tour packages are connected to your supplier profile. The company information, contact details and other profile information associated with your account help travellers understand which business is offering the experience.

Tip: Before adding packages, make sure your My profile information is accurate and professional.

STEP 4: Click “Vendor Dashboard”

From the account menu, click Vendor Dashboard.

The Vendor Dashboard is the main management area for your supplier account.

In the screenshot, the dashboard displays several summary sections, including:

• Pending
• Earnings
• Bookings
• Services

It also includes an Earning Statistics section.

What is the Vendor Dashboard used for?

The dashboard provides access to the tools available for managing your tourism business on ATX Africa.

Depending on your account and the features available, you may use it to:

• Manage tour packages
• Review booking information
• Access booking reports
• Manage enquiries
• View messages
• Manage your supplier profile
• Access your plan and account settings

Important

The dashboard is your starting point for creating and managing packages. From here, you will open Manage Tour to begin adding a new tour.

STEP 5: Open “Manage Tour”

Inside the Vendor Dashboard, locate Manage Tour in the left-hand navigation menu and click it.

The Manage Tour section is highlighted in the screenshot.

What is Manage Tour?

This is the section where you manage your tour listings.

It gives you access to the tools used to create, view and maintain your packages on ATX Africa.

Why is this step important?

Every tour package you create is managed through this section. It is also where you can return later to update an existing package, review its status or create another tour.

STEP 6: Select “Add Tour”

After clicking Manage Tour, a submenu will appear.

In the screenshot, the submenu includes:

• All Tours
• Add Tour
• Availability
• Recovery

Click Add Tour to begin creating a new tour package.

What happens next?

The system will open the Add new tour page.

At the top of this page, you will see the package creation tabs:

1. CONTENT → 2. LOCATIONS → 3. PRICING → 4. AVAILABILITY → 5. ATTRIBUTES → 6. ICAL

These sections allow you to enter and configure the different parts of your package.

Tip: Prepare your package information before starting so that you can complete the form accurately and efficiently.

STEP 7: Complete the “CONTENT” Section

After clicking Add Tour, the system opens the Add new tour page.

The first tab is 1. CONTENT.

This section is where you enter the main information that introduces and describes your tour package.

The screenshot shows the following fields and sections:

• Title
• Content
• Category
• Youtube Video
• Minimum advance reservations
• Duration
• Tour Min People
• Tour Max People
• FAQs
• Include
• Exclude
• Itinerary
• Border Image
• Gallery
• Featured Image
• Save Changes

Let us look at each one carefully.

7.1 Title

The Title field is where you enter the name of your tour package.

Your title should clearly communicate what the experience is about.

A good title should normally include some combination of:

• Main destination
• Type of experience
• Duration, where relevant
• Route or major attraction, where relevant

Examples

Wildlife safari:

5-Day Serengeti and Ngorongoro Wildlife Safari

Mountain trekking:

7-Day Mount Kilimanjaro – Machame Route

Beach holiday:

4-Day Zanzibar Beach Holiday and Stone Town Experience

Cultural experience:

3-Day Maasai Cultural and Wildlife Experience in Tanzania

Why the title matters

The title is one of the first things travellers and travel professionals see when browsing packages.

A clear title helps them understand your offer quickly and makes your listing easier to identify.

Avoid vague titles

Avoid titles such as:

Safari Package 1

Best Tour

Amazing Holiday

These titles do not explain what the customer is actually purchasing.

Tip: Write a title that is informative, professional and relevant to the actual package.

7.2 Content

The Content field is the main text editor where you describe your tour package.

The screenshot shows a text editor with formatting tools that allow you to structure your description.

This is where you explain the experience in more detail.

What should you include?

A good package description should explain:

• What the package offers
• Where the experience takes place
• What activities are included
• What travellers can expect
• What makes the experience interesting
• Who the package may be suitable for
• Any important information travellers should know

Recommended structure

You can organise your description using:

Introduction
A short overview of the package.

Experience Highlights
The main attractions, activities or experiences.

What Travellers Can Expect
A clear explanation of what the journey or activity involves.

Who This Package Is Suitable For
For example, couples, families, solo travellers, groups or adventure travellers.

Example

Experience the beauty of northern Tanzania on this 5-day wildlife safari through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Enjoy guided game drives, discover diverse landscapes and explore some of Tanzania’s remarkable wildlife destinations. This safari is suitable for travellers looking for a private and immersive African wildlife experience.

Writing best practices

• Use clear and natural English.
• Write for travellers, not only for tourism professionals.
• Use short paragraphs.
• Use headings and bullet points where helpful.
• Avoid exaggerated claims.
• Make sure the description matches the actual package.
• Do not copy another company's description.
• Explain local terms that international travellers may not understand.

Important: The Content section describes the specific package, not your entire company. Your company introduction belongs in My profile.

7.3 Category

The Category field allows you to select the category that best represents your tour package.

In the screenshot, the field displays:

-- Please Select --

Click the dropdown and choose the relevant category available in your account.

Why category matters

The category helps ATX organise packages and makes it easier for travellers to discover experiences that match their interests.

For example, depending on the categories available in the system, a package may belong to a category related to:

• Wildlife
• Mountain trekking
• Beach holidays
• Cultural experiences
• Adventure
• Nature
• Other tourism activities

Best practice

Choose the category that accurately describes the main experience.

Example: A Mount Kilimanjaro trekking package should not be placed in an unrelated category simply because that category is popular.

Important: Select the most appropriate category available in your dropdown. The exact options may depend on the ATX configuration.

7.4 Youtube Video

The Youtube Video field allows you to add a YouTube video related to your package.

The screenshot shows a field with the placeholder:

youtube video

What can you add?

You can use a relevant video showing:

• The destination
• The activity
• The tour experience
• The landscape
• Accommodation
• A cultural or adventure experience

Example

For a Kilimanjaro package, you may use a video showing the route, trekking experience or mountain environment.

For a Zanzibar package, you may use a video showing the beach, Stone Town or activities included in the package.

Best practices

• Use a video that is relevant to the package.
• Make sure the video accurately represents the experience.
• Avoid using unrelated videos.
• Avoid using videos that create expectations your package cannot fulfil.

Important: Only add a video if you have a relevant one. Do not add an unrelated video simply to fill the field.

7.5 Minimum advance reservations

The Minimum advance reservations field allows you to specify the minimum advance booking time required for your package, where applicable.

The screenshot includes the instruction:

Leave blank if you don't need to use this option

What does this mean?

Some packages require preparation before the travel date.

For example, a supplier may need time to arrange:

• Accommodation
• Transport
• Guides
• Park permits
• Mountain permits
• Special activities
• Other operational arrangements

If your package requires advance booking, you can use this field according to the available system settings.

Important distinction

This field is not the duration of the tour.

• Minimum advance reservations = How early the customer needs to reserve.
• Duration = How long the tour itself lasts.

Example

A package may last 5 days, but the supplier may require reservations several days or weeks in advance.

Important: If you do not need to use this option, the screenshot specifically indicates that you can leave it blank.

7.6 Duration

The Duration field allows you to enter the length of your tour package.

In the screenshot, the field is accompanied by a unit selector showing:

hours

What should you enter?

Enter the duration that accurately represents the experience.

For example:

• A half-day activity may be entered in hours.
• A full-day activity may be entered according to the duration used by the system.
• A multi-day package should be entered according to the duration format supported by the platform.

Important

Your duration should match:

• The package title
• The package description
• The itinerary
• The actual experience offered

Example: If your title says 5-Day Serengeti Safari, the duration should not contradict that information.

7.7 Tour Min People

The Tour Min People field allows you to specify the minimum number of people required for the tour.

Examples

• A package accepting solo travellers may have a minimum of 1.
• A private tour designed for couples may have a minimum of 2.
• A group experience may require a specific minimum number of participants.

Why this matters

This helps communicate the minimum group size required for the package.

Best practice

Enter the minimum number that your company can realistically accommodate under the package's conditions.

Do not enter a minimum that does not match your actual operating arrangements.

7.8 Tour Max People

The Tour Max People field allows you to specify the maximum number of people the package can accommodate.

Examples

• A private safari designed for up to 6 people may have a maximum of 6.
• A group tour may have a maximum capacity based on the vehicle, guide, accommodation or activity.
• A small cultural experience may have a limited number of participants.

Why this matters

It helps travellers understand the expected group size and helps suppliers communicate their capacity clearly.

Tip: Make sure the maximum number is realistic and consistent with the actual service you provide.

The FAQs section allows you to add frequently asked questions about your package.

In the screenshot, the section contains two columns:

Example

Title: Day 2: Tarangire – Serengeti National Park

What makes a good itinerary?

• Important travel information
• Meals, where applicable
• Accommodation, where applicable

Best practices

• Use a logical order.
• Keep the itinerary consistent with the duration.

Examples

Best Practices for Creating Professional Tour Packages

Creating a package is not only about filling in the form. It is also about presenting your experience clearly and accurately.

1. Use a Clear Title

Your title should tell travellers what the package is about.

2. Write a Complete Description

Explain the experience, destination, activities and important details.

3. Use Accurate Pricing

Make sure your price matches the actual package conditions.

4. Keep Your Information Consistent

Your title, duration, itinerary, price, location and attributes should all describe the same experience.

5. Use Relevant Images

Choose images that represent the actual package.

6. Explain Inclusions and Exclusions

Help travellers understand what is included and what they may need to pay for separately.

7. Keep Your Package Updated

Review your package regularly and update prices, availability, itinerary and other information when necessary.

8. Avoid Misleading Information

Do not exaggerate destinations, activities, accommodation, wildlife sightings or other services.

9. Select Accurate Attributes

Attributes should help the right travellers discover your package.

10. Review Before Submission

Always check the entire package before submitting it for activation.
