Tour guidelines

Tours are a popular Tryst feature that allow you to show your profile in locations you will be visiting soon. To add tours to your profile, refer to this article:


Because tours impact search results, we have some simple rules around how they work to ensure they remain fair for all users. Got feedback on these rules or want to tell us about a scenario you think should be allowed?Ā Drop us a line! We'd love to hear from you.

Overlapping tours

In general, the system won't allow you to have tours that overlap because, well, you can't be in two places at the same time! There are, of course, times when a little bit of overlap makes sense, so we allow a couple of special conditions.

  • Check out and check in dates are allowed to overlap because it is reasonable that you would depart one location and arrive in the new one on the same day while accepting bookings for that day in both locations. For example in our image below you can see that we have a tour that leaves Philadelphia (red) on the 17th of May and arrives in Washington (blue) the same day, following by leaving Washington on the 24th and arriving in Pittsburgh (green).
  • Nearby locations, which means cities within ~100km/60mi of one another, can realistically be served on the same tour, either by clients coming to you or you travelling to clients. For example we show that a tour is entered for both New York (purple) and Newark (orange) over the same 8-24 July period.


Unconfirmed tours

We understand that many providers want to try out locations before paying travel costs, however we ask that you limit this to only a few listings at a time and label them clearly to ensure that the touring feature remains fair, like in this example where we have listed the tour description as "taking booking enquires now!". Setting lots of unconfirmed tours can negatively impact those who are based in those locations or have already incurred the costs of travelling there.


Why do we care about tour abuse?

We want every Tryst provider to be able to run their business as they see fit, however we also must balance that against ensuring that the platform remains fair for everyone. By applying these rules to tours we ensure that people get the maximum flexibility while also not causing negative side effects.

Tryst doesn't currently support FMTY, but it is definitely a feature request we are keeping an eye on, if you want to lend your vote to help prioritise it,Ā drop us a lineĀ and let us know with the feedback/suggestion option!
