How to ask the DMC to design a tailor-made trip for me ?

You don’t always need to build a full itinerary before reaching out to your DMC. KOOB allows you to request a custom trip directly through the Trip Designer chat. This method is perfect if you're short on time or not yet familiar with the destination.

✅ Create a Client Folder in just a few clicks
✅ Open the Trip Designer without adding anything
✅ Use the 💬 chat to send your DMC a custom trip brief
✅ Let the DMC build the proposal directly
✅ Review, modify, and confirm the trip later

🚀 Objective: Quickly request a custom trip without starting from scratch, using only a Client Folder and chat message.

 

📂 Create a Client Folder

Before contacting your DMC, start by creating a new Client Folder.

  • Go to "Client Folders" in the left-hand menu

 

  • Click "Add New Client Folder" ➕

  • Fill in:

    • Folder name (e.g. “Honeymoon – Smith Thailand”)

    • Client reference or internal tracking

    • Number of travelers, nationality, special preferences

  • Click "Save changes" 💾

💡 Add key client preferences in the notes section, like “Luxury beach resort”, “Nature & Wildlife”, or “Budget €3000”.

 

🎨 Open the Trip Designer

From the newly created Client Folder:

  • Click "Design a Trip" 🟠

 

  • Choose "From Scratch" 🧩

 

  • Fill in basic trip info (country, dates, number of travelers)

  • Click "Continue"

 

📌 No need to add any experience or hotel yet — you can leave the timeline empty.

 

💬 Ask your DMC for help via chat

Inside the Trip Designer:

  • Click the 💬 Chat button (top-right corner)

 

  • Click "New Conversation"

 

  • Title your conversation clearly

    • Example: “Tailor-made honeymoon request – Thailand August 2025”

 

  • Write a detailed brief:

    • Number of travelers and dates

    • Destination and special interests

    • Hotel level (luxury, boutique, etc.)

    • Experience type (culture, beach, adventure)

    • Budget per person

  • Click "Send" 📩

📝 Example message:

"Hi! I have a couple looking for a 10-day honeymoon in Thailand in August 2025.

They love beachfront luxury hotels, island hopping, private transfers, and romantic dinners. Budget is around $3000 per person.

Can you help design the itinerary?"
