Holiday was great, hotel was fantastic and very thing was fine with flights andJet2 staff. The reason for not awarding 5 star was the experience at Leeds/Bradford airport. Security queues were very lengthy and on return passport control queues were also very lengthy and it took ages to get our cases. Seems the airport can’t cope with the capacity. The experience at Faro airport was the opposite experience slick and organised.

Everything went went well. The itinerary was well organized; the toor coordinators, local and overall guides were awesome. We are delighted of the tour and we will book again.
I hope Europamundo does better job at communicating start time each morning at hotel desk, when we arrived in Barcelona, hotel staff had no info on next day departure or no sign on what to expect next day, almost missed bus in the morning as they started early.

Costsaver

  • Excellent - 938 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours
I thought this fast pace tour was everything I expected and more. Our cruise manager, Steen, couldn’t have been better. We all loved him and his tremendous knowledge of history and insight into cultures (including his own). I would do it all again.
The host was amazing. The bus and hotels were sub standard.

Nice travel, good organization
Wonderful trip! Everything was taken care of, all we had to do was enjoy! Greg and Ivor were amazing!

Highland Experience Tours

  • Excellent - 240 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours
Cool sites and informative.
Chris was great! Very entertaining! The itinerary was great! Got to see a whole lot of Scotland in 5 days. Except for Inverness, the lodging left a lot to be desired. Oban didn’t have a working shower, and Skye left a bowl of cereal bars and called that breakfast. All were at least 1/2 mile away from food. There were a lot of unforeseen issues on this trip. The ferry caught fire so we had to drive to Skye, and the restaurants were closing by the time we got there. We also had to change buses two times due to company-wide equipment issues!!!

Globus

  • Excellent - 74,920 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours
Diermand and drivers were great! The tour was fun but definitely very quick and lots of time spent traveling on bus.
The trip was great.

Haggis Adventures

Haggis Adventures

  • Excellent - 2,003 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours
This was a well organized overview of the Scottish Highlands, capturing the highlights and offering a nice variety of activities. Our guide played a pivotal role in our enjoyment of the experience. Dusty deftly managed a few of our group that were a bit challenging in their demeanour. He is a pleasant man who kept us safe, informed and entertained. He gave bites of historical informstion
A great introduction to Scotland and its culture and traditions. We regularly stopped at lovely villages, saw some stunning sites and drove through the most beautiful landscapes. Everyday there were some possibilities to do some walks, and as we arrived at the hotel by 5pm in the evening, we had lots of time off to explore the villages and dive into local food and entertainment. We were a group of 29 of all ages, and a good mixture of couples, families and solo travellers. I booked the hostel accommodation which was fine because we were the same people from the group staying in one room. Our guide Paul was perfect, very kind and knowledgeable. He entertained us during the bus rides with interesting and funny stories, background information and music. He was mindful of our needs and wishes, and a great driver. I can highly recommend this tour!

Insight Vacations

My Mom and I absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide Alex was so kind and thoughtful. He took very good care of us! Our bus driver Craig was also amazing. My Mom is 88 and Craig was so good to make sure she got down the bus stairs safely! Scotland and England are beautiful countries filled with rich history!
The tour with the sites that we visited was great. Alison, out tour director, was wonderful, very knowledgeable. Arthur, our bus driver was also great. Our one day tour guide and bus driver, Ann, was also great. I was not so impressed with the breakfast menu of cooked food. It was the same at every hotel. They need to change up the menu.

Would have liked to have done the Kayaking
We loved our whole tour experience. Our driver/guide was fantastic - kind, patient and well organized. The places we stayed in were very comfortable. Our guide regularly consulted us about itinerary choices and we enjoyed all the places we visited in Ireland. The weather cooperated most days and we were lucky to do biking and lots of hiking!

Intertrips

  • Excellent - 30 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours
While the travel and hotels was well organized, I was disappointed that I was not told before hand that it was a bilingual tour. There was very little English commentary throughout. Would only suggest this tour if you want to go around places and are happy to do self reading.
Jose the tourist guide was excellent, the hotels except for the last one were very good, the landscape and scenery was amazing, very recommended

MacBackpackers

MacBackpackers

  • Excellent - 2,658 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours
This was a truly special experience. I knew I wanted to travel through Isle of Sky, Loch Ness and the highlands in general but as a first time solo female traveler, I didn't want to deal with the logistics of getting places, but I also didn't want to take day tours with a bunch of old people. MacBackPackers seemed like the perfect fit - I would be able to hike unlike a typical tour, and meet people my age and experience Scotland through a less corporate lens. I.e., staying at hostels and going through the highlands at a slower, more intimate pace. I wish I did a longer tour!
It was an amazing trip. Met with backpackers like me and filled with loads of memories Special shout out to Tim who made it more special by taking care of everyone and his knowledge about the places.

Good driver - organised our Group chat which bonded us well - a few accoms I think below the standard - please can we ask host to supply a top sheet not just quilt as it was too hot and little air in most rooms . Anne was so brilliant on our day with her and David a delight .David great driver too. Lovely meeting you Mick and appreciate your interest in our response -

With an excellent Guide Elly Carr we were very pleased with our tour. Elly had a massive amount of knowledge she shared very freely and our bus driver Steve Jones was also excellent and made us feel safe and secure.
It was a great journey and adventure with other people.

Culture Trip

Culture Trip

  • Excellent - 251 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours
The only let down was when the coach left the tour, and taxis and trains with the luggage was a struggle. Hotel selection, excursions, and guide were all first class. Had a very uncomfortable trip up to Glasgow, coach had no cooling, arrived ridiculously late, no arrangements regarding food, from time of meeting at 16.30 until breakfast the next morning.
Our tour guide, Tony Walker, was excellent. Since this was a first for this itinerary, there were a lot of travel issues and Tony was great at solving them. Culture Tours need to acknowledge how good a tour guide and leader he was for them. Here are my comments, in no special order. - More trip details as very vague in the itinerary, i.e. daily timetables for stops - Timely receipt of changes to original schedule of events - Notification of roommate and contact info when sharing room (prior to trip start) - Daily events need to be better scheduled. Too many crammed into some days causing early starts and late day endings. - Long distances to each night's stop causing long days on coach and trains - More centrally located hotels with dining options nearby. - Disliked hotel in Inverness. Staff almost rude and not helpful when we wanted a cab. Way too far from the city center. No amenities in the room - i.e. soap, shampoo, lotions, etc. - Name tags for tour members

Irish Experience Tours

Irish Experience Tours

  • Excellent - 304 reviews for UK and Great Britain tours
Everything excellent
We had an absolutely amazing time. It was the right mix of scene sites, but with flexibility to enjoy. All of the accommodations were really good. A ton of opportunity for unique experiences. And we cannot say enough about Lee. Lee was fun, extremely knowledgeable, an excellent team builder and just plain fun. We will certainly recommend Wild Irish Experience to all of our friends who are considering traveling to Ireland. Once again, thank you Lee!

UK seaside town that was 'once the place to be seen' with 'iconic' attraction voted best in Britain

The Seaside Heritage Network has identified the UK's most beloved coastal hotspots, and one place in particular has proved hugely popular with locals and visitors.

New Brighton

  • 10:16, 19 Sep 2024

A beloved seaside town has been crowned this year's must-visit spot in the UK thanks to its main attraction: a timeless funfair that families and tourists have been flocking to for many years.

New Brighton in the Wirral, Merseyside, has been recognised thanks to its New Palace and Adventureland securing the top position in the Bucket and Spade List for this year. The nod to Britain's saltwater heritage comes from the Seaside Heritage Network, which gathers public opinion to identify our beloved coastal hotspots.

Sentimentality plays a huge role, according to voters, who cherished continuing long-held family traditions at these destinations.

The premier attraction, New Palace and Adventureland at New Brighton, found on Marine Promenade, wows visitors with an array of timeless funfair attractions, arcades and various outdoor amusements, reports the Liverpool Echo .

READ MORE: 'Gorgeous' UK beach is so beautiful people can't believe it's in Britain

One happy visitor reminisced about the New Palace and Adventureland: "I have been visiting the New Palace since I was five years old and now I take my grandchildren who love it, the building is iconic and very little has changed in 65 years it is part of New Brighton's heritage."

Another trip down memory lane came from a visitor who said: "From an era when New Brighton was the place to be seen. It has everything quintessentially seaside, amusements, ice cream, beach ware, cafes, candy floss."

Aside from this main attraction, there are so many other things to see and new in New Brighton - and clearly tourists agree, as it attracts more than one million visitors every year.

Summer may be drawing to a close but it doesn't mean you can't still head to the beach and spend a few hours by the shore, paddling and walking along the sand with an impressive view of Liverpool's iconic skyline. The town boasts the longest promenade in the UK, as well as plenty of traditional amusement arcades, giving it a very vintage feel.

But away from the seafront is New Brighton's Victorian Quarter, which is packed full of independent bars and places to eat, record shops, vintage stores, music venues, and a street art trail too.

Perhaps one of the most iconic landmarks in the Wirral is also in New Brighton - the Lighthouse. It was built all the way back in 1830, and it's recommended that you go either at sunrise or sunset for the best views.

David Wilkie, owner and manager at the New Palace and Adventureland, couldn't hide his joy, saying: "All the fun of the fair is one phrase that reflects the Wilkie family's commitment and dedication to providing New Brighton with an unforgettable attraction. To be awarded first place in the Seaside Heritage Network Bucket and Spade list is the icing on the cake - not only for the resort's tourism - past, present and future - but for all the generations who have taken the Palace to their hearts."

The top ten attractions included:

  • New Palace and Adventureland, New Brighton
  • Ventnor Paddling Pool, Isle of Wight
  • Grand Pier, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset
  • St Annes Beach Huts, Lytham St Annes, Lancashire
  • Leas Lift, Folkestone, Kent
  • Punch & Judy booth, Swanage
  • Cleethorpes Lakeside Area, Lincolnshire
  • Showtown Museum, Blackpool
  • Grand Hotel, Scarborough, North Yorkshire
  • Great Orme Tramway & Goats, Llandudno, Conwy

Top Payment Gateway Options for Travel Agencies and How to Integrate Them

Introduction: why payment gateway integration is critical for travel agencies.

Top Payment Gateway Options for Travel Agencies. In today’s fast-paced digital world, offering seamless and secure payment options is a must for travel agencies. Customers expect to book flights, hotels, tours, and car rentals with ease, and having multiple payment methods ensures higher conversion rates and better customer satisfaction.

For travel agencies, payment gateway integration is not just about accepting payments—it’s about providing a safe, fast, and localized experience. With the rise of global travelers, offering diverse payment options like credit cards, digital wallets, and even cryptocurrency is now a necessity.

In this article, we’ll explore the top payment gateway options for travel agencies and how you can integrate them into your booking system efficiently, ensuring a smooth payment experience for your customers.

1. What is a Payment Gateway and Why Does Your Travel Agency Need One?

A payment gateway is a service that processes credit card payments for online and offline businesses. In travel, a payment gateway acts as a bridge between your website and financial institutions, enabling you to securely collect payments from customers across the globe.

Key Benefits of Integrating a Payment Gateway:

  • Global Reach : Accept payments from different countries and currencies.
  • Secure Transactions : Protect customer data with encrypted and PCI-compliant gateways.
  • Increased Conversion : Offer multiple payment methods to avoid cart abandonment.
  • Faster Payments : Real-time processing ensures quick bookings and reservations.

2. Top Payment Gateways for Travel Agencies

When choosing the right payment gateway, you need to consider factors such as transaction fees, supported currencies, security features, and ease of integration . Below is a list of some of the best payment gateways that work well for travel agencies:

3. How to Choose the Best Payment Gateway for Your Travel Agency

Choosing the right payment gateway depends on a variety of factors. Consider the following before making your decision:

  • Supported Currencies : If you cater to international travelers, ensure the gateway supports multiple currencies.
  • Fees : Look out for transaction fees, setup costs, and any monthly fees.
  • Payment Methods : Modern travelers often prefer digital wallets like Apple Pay , Google Pay , or even cryptocurrency . Offering diverse options is key.
  • Security : Opt for gateways with advanced fraud detection and compliance with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
  • Integration Complexity : Make sure the payment gateway easily integrates into your website and booking system, preferably with API support .

4. Technical Aspects of Payment Gateway Integration

Now that you know the top payment gateways, the next step is integrating them with your website. Most travel agencies today prefer a seamless booking experience , where payments are processed within the website, without redirecting customers to third-party pages.

Payment Gateway Integration Methods:

  • API Integration : Most advanced and customizable method, allowing you to manage the transaction process entirely on your platform.
  • Hosted Payment Pages : The gateway handles the payment, taking the user to an external page for checkout (e.g., PayPal).
  • Plugins : Many CMS platforms, such as WordPress (used by PHPTRAVELS), offer ready-made plugins for popular gateways like Stripe, Authorize.Net, and PayPal.

5. Step-by-Step Guide to Payment Gateway Integration Using PHPTRAVELS

At PHPTRAVELS, we offer comprehensive solutions for integrating payment gateways into your travel agency’s website. Here’s how you can integrate them with ease:

Step 1: Choose Your Payment Gateway

Decide which payment gateway is best suited for your business based on your target market, payment methods, and security needs.

Step 2: Set Up Your Account

Create a business account with the selected payment gateway (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). You will need to provide business details, bank account information, and verification documents.

Step 3: Get API Credentials

Once your account is set up, the payment gateway will provide you with API keys or credentials. These are essential for linking the payment gateway to your website.

Step 4: Use PHPTRAVELS for Seamless Integration

At PHPTRAVELS, we simplify the integration process. Our software is fully compatible with major payment gateways and includes built-in plugins for easy installation. Here’s a quick overview:

  • Go to Admin Panel : Log in to your PHPTRAVELS admin dashboard.
  • Select Payment Gateway Settings : Navigate to the payment settings and select the gateway you want to integrate.
  • Insert API Credentials : Input the API keys provided by your payment gateway provider.
  • Test the Gateway : Ensure the payment gateway is working correctly by running test transactions.
  • Go Live : Once you’ve successfully tested the gateway, go live and start accepting payments!

6. Top Considerations for Travel Agencies When Integrating Payment Gateways

A) mobile optimization.

Ensure that the payment gateway supports mobile-friendly checkouts. With over 70% of travel bookings happening on mobile devices, an optimized checkout process is crucial.

b) Localized Payment Methods

For travel agencies catering to international clients, offering localized payment methods such as Alipay , WeChat Pay , or UPI (for India) can increase bookings from specific regions.

c) Compliance with Local Regulations

Different countries have unique rules and regulations regarding online payments. Make sure your payment gateway complies with all relevant laws, such as GDPR in Europe or PSD2 (Payment Services Directive 2) for additional security.

7. Maximizing the Benefits of Payment Gateway Integration

The ultimate goal of integrating a payment gateway is to offer a smooth, hassle-free booking experience. Here’s how you can maximize its benefits:

  • Enable One-Click Payments : For returning customers, use tokenization to store payment details securely for faster checkouts.
  • Offer Multi-Currency Support : Automatically display prices in the customer’s local currency to increase trust and conversions.
  • Monitor Transaction Data : Use your payment gateway’s dashboard to track customer behavior, top-selling services, and seasonal trends.
  • Optimize for Speed : Ensure your gateway doesn’t slow down your website. Use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights to check performance.

8. Why Choose PHPTRAVELS for Payment Gateway Integration?

PHPTRAVELS offers a complete travel booking solution that makes it incredibly easy to integrate various payment gateways into your website. Here’s why we stand out:

  • Multi-Gateway Support : We support all major gateways, including Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net, and more.
  • Secure Transactions : Built-in security features like PCI compliance and SSL encryption to ensure safe transactions.
  • Customization : Full access to the code allows you to customize the payment experience as per your business needs.
  • Affordable and Scalable : Whether you’re a startup or an enterprise, PHPTRAVELS offers pricing plans that fit your business size and requirements.

Conclusion: The Future of Payment Gateways in Travel

As the travel industry becomes increasingly digital, the importance of integrating a reliable, secure, and flexible payment gateway cannot be overstated. Whether you’re a small travel agency or a large enterprise, offering multiple payment options is key to capturing more bookings and increasing customer trust.

At PHPTRAVELS, we make the process of integrating and managing payment gateways seamless. Get in touch with us today to learn how we can help your travel agency grow by simplifying payment solutions.
