1. B\u00f3kun<\/h2>\n
All-in-one ticketing, operations & distribution management system for winter activity operators<\/h3>\n
![\"B\u00f3kun](\"https:\/\/www.bokun.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/bokun-homepage.png\")
<\/p>\nWe built B\u00f3kun for the operators big resort management systems ignore \u2014 ski areas, tubing parks, Nordic centres, and winter activity businesses that need to sell tickets online, manage a rental fleet, and reach out-of-town visitors planning their ski weekend on sites like Viator.<\/p>\n
As part of the Tripadvisor and Viator family,<\/strong> B\u00f3kun covers your full operation in one place: ticketing and capacity management, rental inventory, instructor scheduling, OTA distribution, and the guest experience tools that keep people coming back year after year.<\/p>\n
The distribution side is where we separate furthest from every other platform in this guide. Every enterprise system here is built around direct, on-mountain sales \u2014 for guests who already know the mountain and buy through the resort’s own channels. None are built to put your lift tickets in front of travellers browsing Viator or GetYourGuide while planning a ski trip. That’s the gap B\u00f3kun closes, and it’s our biggest differentiator.<\/p>\n
We’ve been working with experienced providers across the industry for 10+ years, from small, one-person tubing businesses getting online for the first time to multi-location ski operations managing a full rental fleet and lesson programme. Whatever your operation’s size, you can get started fast and build from there.<\/p>\n
We offer some of the lowest rates in the booking software industry<\/strong><\/a> \u2014our START plan is $49 a month with 1.5% online booking fees. And we\u2019re one of the highest-rated systems around \u2014 our users rate us 4.7 stars on Capterra<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> citing the all-in-one toolkit, ease of use, and value for money as what sets us apart the most.<\/p>\n
We’ll walk you through the full toolkit below \u2014 distribution tools first, then everything on the operations side. But we also offer a 14-day free trial (no credit card required!)<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> so you can build your ticket products and test your flows before committing to anything.<\/p>\n
B\u00f3kun’s tools to sell lift tickets online & win bookings from travellers across the globe<\/h3>\n
Create a booking website<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Making your website bookable is the most direct way to turn existing traffic into confirmed tickets \u2014 visitors can check availability and book a day on the mountain instantly, without calling, emailing, or waiting to hear back. We make it straightforward whether you already have a site or you’re starting from nothing.<\/p>\n
If you already have a website, embed our booking engine widgets<\/strong><\/a> directly on your pages. We give you the code; you paste it in. There are several widget styles to work with \u2014 “Book Now” buttons<\/a>, availability calendars, product listings, and product overviews \u2014 so you can put the right widget on the right page. For example, you can put a general availability calendar on your homepage, a day-ticket-specific widget on your lift ticket page, and a separate one for your tubing sessions.<\/p>\n
![\"Choosing](\"https:\/\/www.bokun.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/choose-your-widget-type.png\")
<\/p>\nRead more: <\/strong>How to add a booking system to your website<\/a><\/p>\n
If you don’t have a site yet, our one-click website builder<\/strong><\/a> gets you online fast. Templates<\/a> come mobile-optimised with booking widgets already installed, so you just choose a layout and fill in your details. You can add photos of your mountains and terrain, conditions info, best times of the year to hit the slopes, whatever a visitor needs to convert.<\/p>\n
And for teams that want more control, advanced SEO tools<\/a> let you add custom CSS, publish blog content, connect Google Analytics, and translate the site into multiple languages.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nRead more: <\/strong>How to create a booking website<\/a><\/p>\n
We support the full checkout flow by integrating with a wide range of payment processors<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, Klarna, Worldpay, Braintree, and others \u2014 so guests can pay however they prefer and finalise bookings.<\/p>\n
Connect with OTAs & online marketplaces<\/strong><\/h4>\n
As mentioned above, our distribution tools are what really set us apart. No other enterprise system in this guide can match us here.<\/p>\n
Most of your future customers, particularly the out-of-towners booking a ski day during a trip, start their search on a travel platform, not your website. So we’ve built connections with 70+ global OTAs and online marketplaces<\/strong> that let you put your lift tickets and winter experiences in front of those audiences where they’re already searching.<\/p>\n
We connect with all the biggest sites \u2014 Viator, GetYourGuide, Google Things to Do, Airbnb Experiences, Expedia, Civitatis, Klook, Trip.com, TourRadar, Headout, and Musement \u2014 alongside regional and activity-specific platforms that reach travellers already looking for outdoor and winter experiences.<\/p>\n
And as a Tripadvisor brand, we\u2019re the #1 restech partner across major names,<\/strong> and we hold premium partnerships with three of the most popular platforms:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Our Viator Preferred Partnership<\/strong><\/a> lets us offer 0% B\u00f3kun fees on Viator bookings, plus free annual subscription credits (12, 24, or 48 depending on your plan) to add listings without extra cost.<\/li>\n
- Our GetYourGuide Premium Connectivity Partnership<\/strong><\/a> lets you get your listings on GYG quickly and easily, and it guarantees reliable syncing between platforms so you can manage bookings and availability<\/a> without any manual work.<\/li>\n
- The Google Things to Do official partnership<\/strong><\/a> lets B\u00f3kun users bypass Google\u2019s standard application process and promote experiences directly in search and Maps results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We don\u2019t cap the number of sales channels you can connect and sell through. And you can manage every channel from the B\u00f3kun dashboard. When you update availability or capacity in B\u00f3kun, it pushes to every connected channel at once \u2014 there are no manual updates or risk of double bookings.<\/p>\n
We also put together the guides below so you can learn more about the most popular online travel sites and how to start selling on them.<\/p>\n
- \n

Partner with other businesses in the B\u00f3kun Marketplace<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The B\u00f3kun Marketplace<\/strong><\/a> also expands your reach by letting you partner up with other travel industry businesses and win bookings from their audiences.<\/p>\n
The Marketplace is home to thousands of businesses and professionals: tour operators; attractions; accommodation providers like hotels, resorts, lodges, and B&Bs; transportation services; rental companies; travel agents; DMCs; and more. You can search our Marketplace by supplier or product type to easily find partners with complementary offerings.<\/p>\n
![\"B\u00f3kun](\"https:\/\/www.bokun.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/discover-partners-gif.gif\")
<\/p>\nThen there are three ways to leverage this network:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Connect with resellers<\/strong> who can promote your experiences to their customers and win you new ticket sales. For example, hotel and lodge concierges can sell your lift tickets to guests who’ve just checked in and are asking what’s nearby. They earn a commission; you get the booking without any outreach effort.<\/li>\n
- Create combo deals with partners<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> For example, package tickets with transfers or lodging so guests can book transport from the city and a ski day in one transaction.<\/li>\n
- Resell other operators’ services or experiences.<\/strong> You can promote partners\u2019 snowmobile tours and snowshoe experiences during the winter, or during the shoulder season, sell mountain biking, hiking tours, or other warm-weather local activities for commission, rather than going quiet until snow falls again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
You connect with partners, negotiate terms, and manage those relationships through the platform, with all booking and commission tracking handled automatically.<\/p>\n
See how operators use the B\u00f3kun network in our case studies:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Mega Zipline Iceland leverages 100+ reseller contracts to scale business to new heights<\/a><\/li>\n
- Venice Tours achieved a 400% revenue increase through the B\u00f3kun Marketplace<\/a><\/li>\n
- International Friends generates $500K in sales via B\u00f3kun Marketplace<\/a><\/li>\n
- Tour Marbella pulls 54% of its bookings through B\u00f3kun Marketplace connections<\/a><\/li>\n
- Simba Sea Trips sees consistent 20% year-on-year revenue growth after joining B\u00f3kun<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Build your own affiliate network with B\u00f3kun Referral Tracking<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The last growth lever to mention is totally unique to B\u00f3kun. Our Referral Tracking<\/strong><\/a> lets you build a custom affiliate network<\/a> with any business or professional that makes sense for your mountain \u2014 beyond Marketplace connections.<\/p>\n
For a ski area or winter activity operator, that might include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Ski shops and rental outfitters who get questions about the best local mountains to ski<\/li>\n
- Nearby lodges and B&Bs looking for experiences to recommend to guests<\/li>\n
- Ski clubs, school groups, and youth sports leagues that book seasonally<\/li>\n
- Winter sports bloggers and ski influencers with audiences of winter travellers<\/li>\n
- Regional tourism boards promoting winter activities in your area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You set commission rates individually per partner, and each one gets a trackable link or a dedicated booking hub for their audience to book directly through. Reporting shows which affiliates are actually driving bookings, so you know where to keep building.<\/p>\n
B\u00f3kun\u2019s operational modules for tickets, rentals, & customer experiences<\/h3>\n
The central calendar<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The central calendar<\/strong> brings your entire operation together. Every booked lift ticket and ski school reservation \u2014 through your website, OTAs, partner sites, affiliate links, phone-ins, or walk-ups at the ticket window \u2014 lands here the moment it’s confirmed, with real-time availability updates<\/strong> pushing back out to every connected channel simultaneously.<\/p>\n
![\"B\u00f3kun](\"https:\/\/www.bokun.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/bokun-departure-details-screen.png\")
<\/p>\nThis solves the problem that gets very visible very fast on a busy powder weekend. You\u2019ve got bookings coming in from multiple sources at once \u2014 folks buying tickets on Viator, through partners, and directly at your lodge. Without a central system tracking it all in real time, you’re counting manually, and you’re going to oversell. With B\u00f3kun, when you hit your daily capacity limit, availability closes across every channel at once.<\/p>\n
Weather-related disruptions are manageable from here too.<\/p>\n
If a storm shuts things down, the Disrupted Departure feature<\/strong> flags every booking tied to that day and sends affected guests a self-service link to pick a new date or cancel for a refund \u2014 no working through a call list by phone.<\/p>\n
For days that can’t be rescheduled at all, Mass Cancellation<\/strong> clears the affected bookings, processes refunds, and closes the slot in one action.<\/p>\n
And Mass Mail<\/strong> sends a single update \u2014 trail closures, grooming changes, a shifted meeting point \u2014 to everyone booked on a given day.<\/p>\n
Ticket scanning tools<\/strong><\/h4>\n
B\u00f3kun’s mobile apps for iOS and Android put check-in wherever your operation needs it<\/strong> \u2014 at the base lodge, a terrain park entrance, a tubing check-in tent, or the trailhead for a guided snowshoe group. The apps pull up the day’s manifest, let your team scan mobile tickets, and track arrivals in real time.<\/p>\n
The apps also work offline. If you’re scanning a lift line somewhere without signal, check-in still runs and everything syncs automatically once you’re connected again.<\/p>\n
B\u00f3kun\u2019s Experiences module<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The Experiences tab<\/strong> is where you build and manage everything you sell \u2014 day tickets, timed-entry lift passes like half-day afternoon or night skiing sessions, rentals, and lessons.<\/p>\n
There are a few ways to start here:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Use our product builder to design new listings \u2014 it walks you through the process step by step so it\u2019s super easy.<\/li>\n
- Pull in products from your website or Viator with our AI product importer.<\/li>\n
- Create templates from existing listings and use those to whip up new variations of those products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
![\"Experience:](\"https:\/\/www.bokun.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/experience-product-recommendations.png\")
<\/p>\nEvery listing includes the basics:<\/strong> a name, a description, who the product is for, and anything guests need to know before they arrive \u2014 parking instructions, what to wear, age limits, skill-level requirements. Photography does a lot of work on these listings \u2014 a groomed run at first light, a tubing hill full of people, a snowshoe group moving through the trees \u2014 so it’s worth using images that show the actual experience, not just the base lodge.<\/p>\n
You can also offer add-ons with products:<\/strong> helmet rentals, lesson upgrades, lunch vouchers, parking passes, photography packages.<\/p>\n
From there, define availability rules.<\/strong> A standard day pass can run with a single daily capacity cap. A timed-entry window restricts bookings to a specific session \u2014 morning vs. afternoon, for example \u2014 and caps each window independently, so you can control flow through the base area rather than having everyone arrive at once. You can also set minimum and maximum capacities per day or session, add booking cutoffs, and control how far in advance tickets can go on sale.<\/p>\n
Then, you\u2019ll set <\/strong>pricing.<\/strong> You have a ton of flexibility here. Set flat rates for standard day tickets, or layer in pricing categories for adults, children, seniors, students, and military. Group discounts help you land larger bookings \u2014 a youth ski club reserving fifty tickets, a corporate group taking over the tubing hill for an afternoon. You can also specify how customers pay: take full payment at booking, collect a deposit and settle on arrival, or allow pay-on-arrival for certain product types.<\/p>\n
Dynamic pricing<\/strong> lets you raise rates as demand builds on peak days and drop them automatically as a booking cutoff approaches on a slow midweek morning. You set the rules; B\u00f3kun handles the execution.<\/p>\n
Resources<\/strong> is where you add your rental fleet and instructors, and this is where inventory management becomes particularly useful for a ski operation. Add your ski and board sets, boots, helmets, poles, and instructors as individual resources with quantities. Assign them to listings, and B\u00f3kun tracks allocation in real time across every product they’re shared between.<\/p>\n
Say you have 200 pairs of rental skis in your fleet. You offer them as a standalone rental listing, and you also include them in your beginner lesson package. Both listings draw from the same pool of 200. The moment the last pair is committed \u2014 whether through a standalone rental or a lesson booking, on any channel \u2014 availability closes on both listings simultaneously. Your gear stays accounted for automatically, and you never promise rentals you don’t have.<\/p>\n
The same logic applies to instructors. Assign each instructor to the lesson types they’re qualified to teach \u2014 beginner, intermediate, freestyle, whatever your programme includes \u2014 and B\u00f3kun tracks their availability across every product they’re assigned to. Once they’re fully booked, those lesson slots close automatically.<\/p>\n
Read more:<\/strong> Best booking systems with resource management<\/a><\/p>\n
You can also create combo packages by bundling two or more products.<\/strong> For example, you can create a combo that includes a lift ticket, rental, and lesson. This makes booking easier for customers \u2014 they can purchase everything in a single transaction rather than navigating three separate bookings \u2014 and it lets you increase average booking value. For a visitor booking their first ski day who needs everything, a bundle is a far easier sell.<\/p>\n
And you can use this product builder to adjust your offerings year-round. After winter, you can publish listings for summer biking trails, scenic lift rides, guided hikes, and multi-activity tours. One system, multiple seasons.<\/p>\n
CRM & automated communications<\/strong><\/h4>\n
B\u00f3kun’s native CRM<\/strong><\/a> builds a contact profile for every guest from the moment they first interact with your booking flow \u2014 name, contact details, booking history, all in one record.<\/p>\n
That data sits in one place, so you can see who’s been before, what they booked, and reach them again with tailored retargeting campaigns \u2014 an early-bird season pass to last year’s regulars, a returning-customer discount to guests who\u2019ve only visited your slopes once, or an abandoned cart reminder to guests who started a booking and never finished it.<\/p>\n
![\"Operations](\"https:\/\/www.bokun.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/operations-customers-manage-communications.png\")
<\/p>\nWe pair our CRM with an automated communications tool<\/strong> to ensure routine emails go out promptly after booking.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Booking confirmations go out immediately, with a mobile ticket attached (and a digital waiver if you bolt on that module).<\/li>\n
- Day-before reminders include current conditions, parking instructions, and arrival info \u2014 the details that cut calls on the morning of.<\/li>\n
- Post-visit emails request a review or extend a return-visit offer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
We also offer a gallery of templates to power your broader email marketing campaigns.<\/strong> Send upsells, discounts, or abandoned cart nudges from ready-made templates, or build your own to send newsletters, special pricing offers, opening day alerts, new trail or terrain opening announcements, midweek deal pushes, end-of-season promotions, or a summer activity launch once you flip to the off-season programme.<\/p>\n
![\"Operations:](\"https:\/\/www.bokun.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/operations-pick-a-base-for-your-template.png\")
<\/p>\nGuest self-service portals<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Every booking confirmation includes a link to a self-service portal<\/strong> where guests can view their reservation, add something they skipped at checkout, reschedule, or cancel \u2014 without calling your guest services line.<\/p>\n
For a ski operation, this is where weather-driven changes pay off. When you flag a departure through Disrupted Departure, guests get the self-service link and can reschedule or cancel themselves rather than waiting on hold. Every change made through the portal updates your calendar automatically \u2014 no separate step on your end to match what the guest just did.<\/p>\n
Reporting dashboards<\/strong><\/h4>\n
B\u00f3kun’s reporting dashboards<\/strong> break your bookings and revenue down by listing, channel, and time period, so you can see which ticket types are selling, which OTA or partner is sending the most business, and where your busy and slow stretches fall.<\/p>\n
![\"Reporting](\"https:\/\/www.bokun.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/reporting-dashboard.png\")
<\/p>\nThen you can use that data to tune your operation for the next season.<\/p>\n
If afternoon half-day tickets are consistently underselling relative to morning ones, adjust the price or test an afternoon-specific promotion. If one OTA drives the majority of your bookings, add more listings there and see whether more inventory moves more volume. If your quietest weeks are predictably the same every year, plan new types of events or promotions to fill those gaps.<\/p>\n
B\u00f3kun App Store<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The B\u00f3kun App Store<\/strong><\/a> lets you add functionality as you need it.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Digital waivers<\/strong> are the clear starting point for ski and tubing operators. Every booking that carries physical risk needs a signed waiver on file before anyone goes anywhere. This module automatically sends waivers with booking confirmations, so guests sign and return them digitally, with the signed copy attached to the booking. Whoever’s running check-in can confirm coverage without hunting for paper forms in a busy base lodge.<\/li>\n
- SMS messaging<\/strong> is worth having for anything time-sensitive, like a morning trail closure or a last-minute change to a meeting point. A text reaches people faster than an email, particularly guests already en route.<\/li>\n
- Departure management<\/strong> coordinates the logistics of multi-group days with staggered start times or specific assembly points.<\/li>\n
- Advanced reporting<\/strong> lets you build custom dashboards and filter by what matters most to your operation \u2014 cancellation rates by ticket type, which add-ons convert at checkout, and how specific promo codes performed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

B\u00f3kun\u2019s packages & how to get started<\/h3>\n
Start a 14-day free trial<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to test B\u00f3kun against a busy week of bookings and see how it fits your operations.<\/p>\n
Our START plan<\/strong> covers everything above \u2014 the central calendar, resource management, OTA connections, Marketplace access, CRM, and reporting \u2014 for $49 a month, with 1.5% online booking fees.<\/strong> We waive B\u00f3kun booking fees on Viator reservations, and offline bookings \u2014 walk-ups at the ticket office, phone-ins, bookings added manually by your team \u2014 are always free.<\/p>\n
To put the fee structure in context: on a $95 day ticket, 1.5% works out to roughly $1.43. Competitors in the booking software space typically charge 4% to 8% on online bookings, which puts the same ticket at $3.80 to $7.60 in fees. Across 30k online tickets in a season, that difference can run up to six figures.<\/em><\/p>\n
For larger operations, our PLUS <\/strong>and PREMIUM <\/strong>plans add agent portals, subvendor management, resource allocation tools, and Zapier integrations, along with dedicated onboarding, priority support, and a yearly strategy call with our team.<\/p>\n
And if you need one of the enterprise systems below to manage your full resort operations, but still want access to all the distribution channels we discussed above, our Channel Manager<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has you covered. It sits between your existing reservation system and the online sales channels you want to reach \u2014 connect once, and you can push tickets to Viator, GetYourGuide, and the rest of our OTA and reseller network, with all incoming bookings managed from a single dashboard.
