How to duplicate a trip template?
The Duplicate Template feature in KOOB enables DMCs to quickly create new trip variations based on existing templates — without modifying the original. It’s ideal when adapting a trip for a specific Tour Operator, a seasonal update, or a new target market.
✅ Save time by building from existing trip structures
✅ Preserve original templates by working from a copy
✅ Easily manage seasonal or market-specific versions
✅ Tailor experiences, hotels, and pricing for different TOs
🚀 Objective: Use the duplication tool to generate new template versions without starting from scratch or altering the original.
📂 How to duplicate a trip template ?
To duplicate a saved template:
-
Go to Trip Designer > My Trip Templates
-
Find the template you want to duplicate
- Click the 🔁 Duplicate icon on the template thumbnail
-
🧾 A pop-up window appears, where you can confirm the key parameters of the duplicated template:
Field | Description |
---|---|
🏷️ Trip name | The name is automatically filled as "Template name + copy" — you can rename it immediately (e.g. “The best of Thailand – Winter Edition”) |
🌍 Countries | The country is inherited from the original template and can’t be changed |
🏙️ Start location | First city of the itinerary (modifiable) |
🏁 End location | Last city of the itinerary (modifiable) |
📅 Departure date | Select the new departure day – used to trigger the TO pricing period |
⏳ Trip duration | Pre-filled and non-editable at this stage — it reflects the original template duration |
👥 Min / Max Pax | You can adjust the minimum and maximum number of travelers |
- Once you’ve reviewed the information, click 🟠 “Yes, continue”.
📌 Note: There is no status or image selection in the duplication pop-up — this step is handled later from the button "Save as a Template" in the Trip Designer.
- This redirects you directly to the Trip Designer, where you can begin editing the duplicated itinerary.

📁 What happens after duplication?
Once the template is duplicated:
-
It becomes a new, independent template
-
It does not affect the original template in any way
-
It inherits the same itinerary, hotels, options, and pricing
-
You can freely edit the duplicated version without touching the source
💡 This is especially useful when:
-
A TO requests exclusive modules or pricing
-
You want to run a seasonal offer
-
You’re building language-specific versions of the same trip
