bookingkit and ToucanTix Launch Strategic Partnership

Seamlessly Connecting On-Site Operations with Global Online Distribution

bookingkit, Europe’s leading SaaS solution for the tours, attractions, and activities (TAA) sector, announces its successful system integration with ToucanTix, the 360° ticketing platform for experience providers. This cooperation enables major attractions to perfectly synchronize their local on-site operations with bookingkit’s high-performance online distribution and channel management. 

The internationally renowned exhibition KÖRPERWELTEN (Body Worlds) is already live as the first major vendor to leverage this integrated infrastructure.

The technical integration of both systems addresses a key requirement of professional venue management: the seamless connection of on-site processes, back office, and digital sales channels. ToucanTix acts as the leading system for operations and backend management—from point of sale (POS) and admission management to resource and capacity logic to billing and accounting. 

bookingkit complements this infrastructure with a powerful online booking process and a market-leading channel manager that enables global distribution via OTAs and partner platforms.

By using the conversion-optimized bookingkit webshop and its market-leading Channel Manager, vendors can automatically distribute their inventory via global platforms like GetYourGuide, TripAdvisor, and Google Things to do, while maintaining full control over local capacities.

Key Features of the Integration:

• Instant Inventory Sync: Millisecond synchronization between systems prevents overbookings across all channels.
• Flex-Ticket Ready: Full support for flexible ticket options and time-slot management.
• Automated OTA Flow: International bookings (OTAs) flow directly into the local system via the bookingkit Channel Manager.
• Rapid Entry: bookingkit digital tickets work natively with ToucanTix access control for zero-friction check-ins.

Lukas C. C. Hempel, CEO of bookingkit: “The tourism and leisure industry is evolving rapidly, and our goal is to provide the most robust infrastructure for this growth. The partnership with ToucanTix is a prime example of how specialized, high-end solutions can work together within a connected ecosystem to create maximum value for operators. Seeing a global brand like KÖRPERWELTEN succeed with this setup proves that our ‘One Platform’ approach for online growth perfectly complements specialized on-site systems.”

Christoph Immel, CSO at ToucanTix: “The demands on leisure attractions are skyrocketing: Today’s operators must simultaneously master seamless on-site operations, a rock-solid backend, and a powerful international online presence. By integrating with bookingkit, we are bridging the gap between world-class on-site management and global digital reach. Our mission has always been to empower attractions with the most robust tools for their daily operations. This partnership allows our customers to maintain their proven on-site infrastructure while leveraging bookingkit’s high-performance online sales engine and extensive reseller network. It is a true win-win for operators who refuse to compromise on either local efficiency or global growth.”

The integration is now available to all vendors via the bookingkit App Marketplace.
