How to check trip pricing and adjust margins for your clients?
KOOBโs Trip Pricing Details feature allows Tour Operators (TOs) to review the full pricing breakdown of a trip and fine-tune the selling price for their clients. Whether you're adjusting hotel markups, applying discounts on experiences, or adding external services, KOOB makes the process clear and efficient.

๐ Objective: Learn how to customize pricing, add margin, and generate a structured pricing document for client-facing quotes.
๐ฒ Accessing Trip Pricing Details
You can access pricing for both Drafts and Confirmed Trips.
-
Go to Client Folders in the left-hand menu
- Search the Client folder in the list
-
Go to the Trips or Drafts
-
Click on the ๐ฒ dollar icon next to the trip you want to review
-
This opens the Trip Pricing Details page
In this view, youโll see:
-
๐จ Hotel booking details
-
๐ฏ Program (experience) prices
-
โ๏ธ Optional services pricing
-
๐ฅ PAX information
-
๐งพ Total pricing by component
๐ Example: A 7-day Vietnam tour draft is opened to validate service prices before applying custom margins.
๐งฎ Adjusting Margins on Individual Services
You can modify the selling price for each component.
How it works:
-
Locate the Markup column in the pricing table
-
Choose to apply a % markup or a fixed $ amount
-
KOOB automatically updates the selling price
Original Price | Action | Final Price |
---|---|---|
$100 | +15% markup | $115 |
$200 | -10% discount | $180 |
๐ก Tip: To apply a discount, just add a minus sign in front of the % or $ value.
๐งฐ Applying a Global Markup
Instead of adjusting line by line, you can apply a global percentage across the entire trip.
-
Scroll to Apply a global markup to the Trip
-
Enter a value (e.g., 10% or $500)
-
KOOB recalculates all components and updates the trip total
๐ Example: Trip base price = $6,000
Add 10% markup โ Final selling price = $6,600
๐ก Tip: This is great for fast updates or last-minute adjustments.
โ Adding Additional Services
You can include extra services not included in the original trip like:
-
โ๏ธ International Flights

๐ก๏ธ Travel Insurance
-
๐ Visa Support
-
๐ฝ๏ธ Custom meals
How to do it:
-

-
Click Add service โ itโs added to the pricing table instantly
๐ Example: You add โTravel Insuranceโ at $60 per person for 4 guests โ $240 added to total.
๐ก Tip: Use this to upsell or handle off-KOOB components like flights or optional tours.
