2014 is long gone now but looking back can shed light into what worked and what did not for some experimentally minded operators. We have an article that looks at what some operators reported as success and failures to the Adventure Travel Association.

All Google Adwords lead to them. Yes, I'm talking about the infamous landing pages. We've tagged a good source to help you out and added our own observations on this subject in 5 Essentials for Your Landing Page below.

We are always upgrading, and these improvements are automatically available to the AE network as part of our service payment structure. This month, we've rolled out a group email function in release 1.4.1. See more below.

Check out this month's member, Volcanoes Safaris.

Latest Release Notes
Adventure Engine is pleased to announce our latest version release roll out May 15 that includes some great development! Here are a few items that you may be interested in:

Email the Group: Lots of you have requested this one and we are really happy to be rolling it out for you. You can now run a report and email your group or class direct from Adventure Engine.

Tax in Pricing: We can now include tax in the item price instead of showing it as a separate line item.

Payment Reference:You can now add both a payment reference and payment notes to identify payments.

Quote Email: The quote email now has a clearer "book now" button with detailed instructions for logging in to view quote and process payment.

Related Tour Dates: Along with our existing functionality to show and sell related tours within other tours, you can now program what range of dates will show for the related tours.

Tours set to Private: It's easy to lose track of tours that have been set to "private", meaning that they won't show in your website shopping cart.
