Definition

What is tour costing software?

Tour costing software calculates the cost and selling price of a tour package from its parts — transport, hotels, meals, guides, entrance fees and extras — and turns it into per-person prices for different group sizes and room types. Instead of rebuilding an Excel sheet for every inquiry, a tour operator plans the route once and gets a consistent, profitable price in minutes.

TourRova's Pre-Costing module is built for inbound tour operators and DMCs who sell tailor-made, multi-day tours by private vehicle — the most common model in Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives, Thailand and across Asia.

How it works

Cost a custom itinerary in 5 steps

1. Trip details

Dates, passengers, vehicle type, currency and markup percentage.

2. Route on Google Maps

Search places for each day. Kilometres and drive time are calculated automatically and drawn on the map.

3. Transport auto-priced

Per-km rate × distance for the chosen vehicle, plus driver bata, chauffeur-guide or national-guide fees.

4. Hotels, meals & fees

Pick hotel suppliers (BB/HB/FB · SGL/DBL/TPL), add meals, entrance fees and other costs by category.

5. Per-pax rates

Live summary plus a full rate table for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 pax in single, double and triple rooms.

6. Branded quote

Generate a PDF quote with your letterhead — internal costs and markup stay private.

Why it matters

Faster quotes win more bookings

  • Reply to inquiries the same day — the first operator to send a clear, accurate quote usually wins the booking.
  • Protect your margin — no forgotten bata, guide fee or entrance ticket; markup applied every time.
  • Quote any group size instantly — when the customer adds two more friends, the new price is already there.
  • Look professional — branded quotes with your logo instead of copy-pasted WhatsApp text.
  • Train new staff faster — the costing logic lives in the system, not in one person's head.

FAQ

Tour costing questions

What is tour costing software?
Tour costing software calculates the total cost and selling price of a tour package from its components — transport, accommodation, meals, guides, entrance fees and extras — then applies your markup and produces per-person prices for different group sizes and room types. TourRova's pre-costing module does this automatically from a day-by-day itinerary.
How does TourRova calculate transport cost?
For each day you enter the places visited. TourRova uses Google Maps to get the real driving distance, multiplies it by the per-km rate of the selected vehicle (car, flat-roof van, high-roof van, mini coach or coach) from your transport supplier, and adds driver bata and guide fees per day.
Can I use my own supplier rates?
Yes. Add your transport suppliers with per-km rates for each vehicle type, and your hotels with BB/HB/FB rates for single, double and triple rooms. When you choose a supplier in the costing, the rates fill in automatically. You can still override any line manually.
Does it calculate prices for different group sizes?
Yes. TourRova produces an all-pax rate table for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 passengers in single, double and triple rooms, so you can quote any group size instantly. Shared costs like the vehicle are divided across passengers automatically.
Are Sri Lankan entrance fees included?
Popular Sri Lankan sites such as Sigiriya, Dambulla, the Temple of the Tooth, Yala and Galle are pre-loaded so you can add them in one click. Fees are editable and you can add your own sites for any country.
Can I send the costing to the customer?
Yes. Click Generate Quote to create a branded PDF quote with your logo, letterhead, itinerary summary and per-person prices — without exposing your internal costs or markup.
Do I need a Google Maps API key?
Yes, a free Google Maps API key (Maps JavaScript, Places and Directions APIs). TourRova includes a 7-step visual guide and a Test Key button in Settings > Google Maps. Google provides a monthly free usage credit that covers most tour operators.
