The Problem
Tourism still runs on spreadsheets
Most tour operators — regardless of size — are still building itineraries in Word documents, pricing trips on gut feeling, and making sustainability claims they cannot prove.
Meanwhile, travellers are demanding more. They want transparency, trust, and proof that their journey creates genuine good.
- Unstructured pricing with no clear breakdown
- Slow, unprofessional enquiry and proposal workflows
- Sustainability claims without supporting data
- No visibility on where traveller money actually flows
- Complex certifications out of reach for small operators
What STOMP Does
An operating system built for tour operators
01
AI-Powered Itinerary Builder
Build professional, detailed itineraries in minutes using integrated AI. Hyper-personalise each journey for each traveller — automatically.
02
The Sustainability Receipt
Every itinerary generates a receipt showing how money flows across the value chain — guides, lodges, communities, permits, and conservation funds.
03
Scientific Pricing Calculator
Calculate prices with a transparent cost-plus methodology. No more guesswork. Operators can show travellers exactly how a price is built.
04
Real Impact Measurement
STOMP measures the environmental and social impact of every single itinerary — probably the only software in the world that does this at trip level.
05
CRM & Lead Conversion
Track enquiries, manage leads, and convert faster. STOMP connects the itinerary to the sales process so nothing falls through the cracks.
06
Website & API Integration
Publish itineraries directly to your website using the STOMP API. Turn your platform into a live, bookable showcase of transparent journeys.
The Big Idea
The Sustainability Receipt
Every journey has a hidden economy behind it. Dozens of providers, local businesses, guides, and communities are involved — yet travellers almost never see this.
"Transparency builds trust. And trust converts browsers into bookers."
STOMP's Sustainability Receipt makes every itinerary a transparent financial document — showing the full value chain in a format travellers can understand and trust.
