How Templates + Images Turn the Best Online Itinerary Builder into a Luxury Travel Designer’s Secret Weapon

 


In the world of luxury and bespoke travel design, choosing the right travel itinerary builder is the difference between spending hours building proposals that go nowhere—and quickly converting high-end enquiries into booked journeys. Generic PDFs won’t impress sophisticated travellers, and waiting days for a reply simply isn’t an option in the luxury space.

A truly effective online itinerary builder helps you deliver highly personalised, visually stunning itineraries that look perfect on web and mobile—exactly what today’s discerning travellers expect. 

Tourwriter’s travel itinerary builder has always supported luxury travel agents, travel designers and DMCs in crafting elegant, detailed proposals. And now, with the launch of our new templates feature, it’s more powerful than ever—helping you save time, scale beautifully, and consistently wow every client.

Why templates matter in a high-end online itinerary builder

Premium travellers expect premium design. Templates help your team deliver:

✅ Faster response times
Create and save sections or whole itineraries as templates, ready for you to drop into each new trip. Organising a 2 week trip to New Zealand which includes 8 different activities, one of which is a 3 day bike ride around the vineyards of Martinborough to sample some of the world’s best pinot noir? Just drop in each section from your pre-saved templates. 

✅ Effortlessly craft bespoke and tailored journeys
Tourwriter’s new template feature lets you act like a master tailor, starting with proven itineraries as your foundation and then expertly swapping key components (like hotels or activities) to transform them into unique client journeys – just as a tailor would modify a base pattern with custom fabrics and details to create a perfectly fitting suit.

✅ Scalable luxury
Update a single template to reflect new suppliers, seasonal updates, or design tweaks. Every itinerary built from that template updates seamlessly.

For luxury DMCs and bespoke travel designers, this means you spend less time on layout and more time crafting unique, experiential journeys.

✅ More efficient = more time to care and connect
Free your team up to focus on what matters: deeply understanding your customers and matching them with the perfect suppliers.

✅ Consistent brand storytelling
 Showcase your brand colours, logos, fonts and tone across every itinerary, quote and proposal.

New: add more images automatically for visual storytelling

Beautiful imagery sells travel dreams. Tourwriter’s newly launched feature makes it easy to automatically include more images in your itinerary previews, drawing from your curated product library.

Benefits for luxury travel agents and DMCs:

  • Effortlessly create image-rich itineraries that inspire
  • Keep proposals consistent and on-brand
  • Save time hunting for high-quality visuals

Whether it’s a Michelin-starred restaurant, boutique hotel or private yacht, your clients see what makes each journey special.

Practical ways to use templates for luxury & bespoke travel

Inside Tourwriter’s travel itinerary builder, you can create templates for:

  • Signature trips (e.g., Mediterranean yacht week, African safari, gourmet tours)
  • Different audience segments (honeymooners, high-net-worth families, VIP incentive groups)
  • Seasonal offers (e.g., summer vs winter luxury getaways)
  • Quick quotes vs detailed story-driven proposals
  • Multilingual versions for international clientele

All templates can dynamically pull content blocks — like three-day train trips, 1 days wine tasting or a week-long bike through Slovenia — from your library.

Why this makes Tourwriter the best itinerary builder for travel agents

Luxury travel is about stories, not spreadsheets. Tourwriter’s new templates and automated image features combine to create:

  • Stunning, consistent designs that reflect your brand
  • Faster turnaround on new proposals
  • Memorable, highly visual itineraries your clients love to share

This is why Tourwriter remains the best itinerary builder for travel agents, travel designers and DMCs working at the top end of the market.
