elloha now gives you the opportunity to promote your tours, attractions and activities on Google Things To Do.
The aim of this distribution channel is to make it easy for Internet users to find bookable experiences based on points of interest such as the Eiffel Tower, the Gorges du Verdon or the Cité du Vin in Bordeaux.
You can synchronise all or part of the packages you have created in your elloha account.
IMPORTANT: only "Ticketing" type fares are eligible. Google only allows you to synchronise packages where the resource used is "Adult".
Furthermore, Google bases the eligibility of your elloha account on POI (point of interests) data. As a result, even though you may at first glance fill in all the "technical" data relating to synchronisation, Google reserves the right not to connect you until this POI data triggers Google Things To Do modules.
The list of POIs is not fixed and grows over time, so it's also possible that you won't be eligible until later.
From your Google My Business page, once elloha and Google Things To Do have been synchronised, the lowest price for your package(s) will be displayed in the"Entry" section, which is where the tickets for your activity(ies) are listed (see example below).
The"Official site" link allows visitors to identify your direct prices. By clicking on this link, visitors are automatically redirected to your elloha booking engine.
You can also book on Google Things To Do from Google Maps (see example below).

IMPORTANT: Google has the option of cutting off Google Things To Do synchronisation at any time for reasons specific to their operations, of which elloha is unfortunately unaware.
