A new activity should be uploaded if it’s completely different from any other activity you offer in your inventory. Before deciding if a new activity should actually be a new activity, take a look at this FAQ to check if you need to add a new option instead.
Small differences between experiences you offer (such as private/shared, duration, group sizes) should be added as options to existing products, instead of new products entirely.
When should a new product be added?
If the nature of the activity varies a lot, a new product should be added, instead of adding an option to an existing product. The nature of the activity can vary for the following reasons:
Different category of products with different guide types
An audio-guided tour of the Colosseum is very different from a tour with a real, live historical guide. As such, they should be different activities.
Different itinerary/route
If it’s a guided tour or day trip, and the route varies i.e. the customers see and visit different things along the way, it should be a new product. This means the full description of each of the products can go into detail about the places and sites seen. E.g. guided tour of Le Marais in Paris, compared to guided tour of Montmartre.
Inclusions that vary greatly
If there are many differences in inclusions, that would be too complex to describe in the option title(s) and option description(s), you should create a new product. E.g. a desert safari from Dubai that just drives through the sand dunes, compared to a desert safari that also includes a BBQ dinner, camel ride, henna tattoo, and quad bike tour.
Different photo albums needed (transport type, time of day, etc)
If a variation of an activity has its own set of distinct images (e.g. for a different boat type, or daytime/sunset/night-time versions of the same tour), it should be a different product.
Starting place in a different city
If the activity starts 50km from another one, it should be a different product, to make sure that customers looking for activities in that location can find it.
