Eliminate overselling with TicketingHub's cloud reservation software. Seamlessly connect your live inventory to Isango's OTA for efficient management.
Reach isango!'s global audience with TicketingHub
The name says it: 'isango' is a Zulu word meaning 'gateway'. As a specialist retailer of tours, experiences, and attraction tickets operating across more than 300 destinations, isango! is exactly that for operators — a gateway to travelers, and to a worldwide network of resellers, that most businesses could never reach alone. Connected through TicketingHub's channel manager, that reach comes without extra admin: live availability out, bookings straight into your dashboard.
What is isango!?
isango! is a specialist retailer of tours, experiences, and attraction tickets, with a catalogue of more than 10,000 experiences across 300+ destinations. It works alongside the best local operators around the world and curates travel content, products, and services — with a particular eye for travelers who want an all-inclusive or luxury-style experience and plenty of options to choose from.
Two things make isango! interesting as a channel. First, the retail side: a large, international audience of experience shoppers. Second, the trade side: isango! also connects operators with resellers around the world through a B2B tourist portal, so a single connection can put your product in front of both travelers and travel-sellers.
Why operators connect isango!
For a local operator, international marketing is the hardest money to spend well. A specialist retailer solves the problem differently: isango! already owns relationships with travelers and resellers in hundreds of destinations, and merchandises curated experiences to them. Getting into that catalogue means your walking tour or attraction ticket is sold in markets and languages you'll never run campaigns in — while you keep operating exactly as before.
The multiplier is the reseller network. Where a consumer OTA gives you one storefront, isango!'s trade portal means your product can also be picked up and sold onward by travel-sellers around the world — reach that compounds without any additional integration work on your side.
How the connection works
isango! integration is available through TicketingHub's channel manager with a simple per-booking integration fee. Once connected:
- Your live inventory feeds the channel — isango! sells only what's genuinely available, updated in real time.
- Bookings centralise automatically — isango! orders arrive in the same TicketingHub dashboard as your POS, online, in-person, and other third-party sales.
- Overselling is eliminated — every channel draws from one availability pool, so manual errors and double-bookings disappear.
- Reporting stays unified — channel performance is visible in your normal reports, tagged to the reseller.
Selling to the luxury and all-inclusive traveler
isango!'s curation leans toward travelers who buy complete, higher-touch experiences. If you offer premium products — private tours, skip-the-line packages, small-group experiences — this channel puts them in front of an audience specifically shopping at that level.
One connection, many resellers
Through isango!'s B2B portal, your product can be sold onward by resellers worldwide. Practically, that means one integration effort in TicketingHub gives you a distribution tree rather than a single shopfront — new customers arriving via sellers you've never had to negotiate with individually.
Growing bookings without growing admin
Every channel you add manually multiplies calendar maintenance and re-keying. Because isango! bookings flow into the dashboard you already use, adding the channel increases sales volume without increasing operational headcount — the whole point of multi-channel selling done properly.
How to get started
Setup happens in your TicketingHub supplier dashboard, with our support team or your account manager guiding the process: add a wholesale rate to the products you want distributed, create isango! as a reseller and assign the rate, create the channel with its permitted products, and share the access credentials with the partner. Commission terms are agreed between you and isango!.
Once the channel is live, run a test booking and check it appears as a pending order in TicketingHub with the reseller name shown — a two-minute check that confirms the integration end to end.
