The first ever Big Bus Tours Partner Support Portal has launched at trade.bigbustours.com. The new portal will provide trade partners with the latest Big Bus Tours products, as well as service, route and ticket information, maps brand assets, image and video libraries.
The site will act as an easy-to-use, one-stop-shop for travel trade partners to enable them to sell Big Bus products effectively.
Last year also saw the launch of the Big Bus Tours API platform as part of the company’s drive to reduce paper vouchers. The trade-specific API has been built as a modular system, allowing partners to utilise as many or as few resources as required, coupled with new QR technology embedded into the vouchers. This upgrade has already shown positive results, with the biggest API partner achieving 198% growth in the first year of integration.
Big Bus Tours announces expansion into Los Angeles
Big Bus Tours has announced their expansion into Los Angeles. Due to launch in the autumn, Big Bus Tours will provide visitors with a never-before-available experience in LA. The three tours will feature live guides, and will concentrate on the must-see places to visit, including Hollywood, Downtown and the Oceanside locations of Venice and Santa Monica, before expanding to cover celebrity neighbourhoods.
Customers in LA will enjoy the technology advancements Big Bus Tours have implemented in recent years, including digital content, free WiFi, real-time bus tracking, and the ability for customers to locate their nearest stop through the new mobile app.
Alex Payne, CEO of Big Bus Tours, said, “Our vision is to be the number one thing to do in every world-famous city, which we can achieve by ensuring that our tours are not only the first things customers do in every city, but are also the best. By adding new cities to our portfolio we constantly strive to keep Big Bus Tours as the market leader for consumers, bookable through the trade.”
