Yes. To reduce site loading time, “text” should be limited to 100 words per each "daily itinerary" and maximum 400 words with regards to the "Overview"/ "highlights" section of all "Tour Package" listings. With Regards to RENT A CAR and ACTIVITY Listings, we allow maximum of 600 words of "text" in the "Overview" section. Total word count for the entire Tour Package listing & Activity Listing should be maximum 1000 words – we may allow additional word count – but it's entirely at our own discretion.

Can I have my contact details included in the listing?
Definitely “NO”. We do not include your contact details, or any other 3rd party links such as but not limited to website links or social media account links under any circumstances
I haven’t received any income from my listing. Will I be able to request a “refund”?
NO, we won’t refund, unless we are duty bound to do so under our Terms & Conditions. Under no circumstances we can give you a guarantee that you will get any business income as a result of advertising / listing with us. We generally advise our advertisers to be “fair” when it comes to “pricing” and to include all relevant content such as brief summary of the Tour / activity , Daily Itineraries with complete details of where you intend to take your client , what’s included and what’s excluded etc. Pay special attention to Images / photos you want us to include. However, you are more than welcome to cancel your subscription at any given time.
If I pay for 3 months or 6 months in advance, can I get “priority” listing / slot ?
Definitely NO. Paying for 3 months or 6 months in advance (by doing so you simply save considerable amount of listing fee) or listing few “listings” with us doesn’t entitle you to demand any priority listing slot. We need to be fair with every client, listings getting listed “first come first serve” basis. So please DO NOT demand us to put your listing on top of the list or any other special treatment/ favor as such.
Will my listing slot “position” remains the same every time ?
Yes , for a limited time only. Lets consider this example. If you list your hotel in the featured destination - Kandy , there will be 20-30 advertising slots in total. Let’s say your listing appears at 4th slot and the last slot is on 20th position. But both advertisers pay the same amount as listing fee. Based on feedback from clients, we also feel there will be an disadvantage for the last few advertising slots. We have decided to make the listings “automated” in few weeks time by “shuffling” the listings from time to time. Which means if you opens the “Kandy” page , you will see “Hotel A” in 4th position, but for some other person, it will be shown at 1st slot/position or may be 14th position. This way, all listings under each category (HOTEL, VEHICLES, TOURS & ACTIVITIES) will get a fair opportunity to get displayed in first few slots, randomly
Do I need to agree to all these Terms & Conditions before listing my advertisement?
Yes , its compulsory that you agree to all the terms mentioned in this page / FAQ section as well as agree to our TERMS & CONDITIONS and PRIVACY POLICY. Kindly go through each policy page before advertising with us and if you decided to advertise / list with us, we assume that you are familiar with all our terms & conditions, privacy policy etc and you agree with such policies.
