Not every valuable integration is a giant global OTA. Sometimes the win is connecting with a platform that helps local operators get found and booked in their own market. Nabooki is exactly that: booking and marketplace technology built for local tourism businesses. TicketingHub's integration with Nabooki lets operators plug into that ecosystem while keeping every booking, payment, and manifest in one place.
What is Nabooki?
Nabooki provides local tourism operators with an online booking tool and marketplace technology that increases their exposure while giving consumers a seamless booking experience. Founded by Richard Tenser in 2014, Nabooki set out to digitally connect local service providers with consumers: by digitising inventory and making real-time availability visible across multiple channels, it helps tour businesses generate more exposure and more bookings without heavy marketing spend.
For the consumer, that means finding a local experience and booking it on the spot, with everything handled online — no phone tag, no 'enquire for availability'. For the operator, it means payments and bookings arrive already organised, with the software providing everything you need at your fingertips to make managing online bookings and payments a breeze.
What the TicketingHub + Nabooki partnership means
The integration links the two systems so that operators get the best of both: Nabooki's marketplace reach and booking tools on one side, TicketingHub's centralized dashboard, manifests, and channel management on the other. Availability stays in sync between the platforms, and bookings flow into TicketingHub automatically — so there's no re-keying, no double-selling, and no back-end juggling. You focus on selling tickets and tours; the systems take care of the plumbing.
With TicketingHub and Nabooki together, tour operators can:
- Reach more customers through Nabooki's marketplace technology.
- Sell group bookings and tours with ease, without worrying about back-end details.
- Manage and accept bookings and inventory in TicketingHub's easy-to-use dashboard.
- Reduce no-shows, with Google Calendar sync keeping schedules aligned.
- Focus on selling while the platforms handle the rest of the booking experience.
Use cases
Local operators building visibility at home
Nabooki's strength is connecting local service providers with nearby consumers. For an operator whose bread and butter is the domestic and drive-market audience, it adds a discovery channel that global OTAs don't cover well — while TicketingHub keeps those bookings on the same manifest as everything else.
Multi-channel businesses consolidating their tools
Plenty of operators end up with one tool for the website, another for a marketplace, and a spreadsheet in between. Connecting Nabooki to TicketingHub collapses that stack: one live availability pool, one dashboard, one source of truth for reporting.
Activity businesses with appointment-style scheduling
For experiences sold in slots — classes, hires, small-group sessions — real-time availability is everything. The integration keeps slot inventory accurate across both platforms, and calendar sync means your team always sees the day as it really is.
Seasonal businesses that need bookings without big ad budgets
Nabooki's founding promise was exposure without heavy marketing spend. For operators whose margins can't fund constant advertising — seasonal hire businesses, family-run tours, single-boat cruise operators — a marketplace presence that simply works in the background is a much better fit than another paid campaign, and TicketingHub makes sure the bookings it produces are handled with zero extra admin.
