Problem
Tour and activity operators often rely on outdated or generic booking tools that fail to handle the complexities of managing shared resources like vehicles, guides, and equipment, leading to overbooking and scheduling conflicts. Many operators in emerging markets are also excluded from enterprise-grade technology platforms due to perceived low customer lifetime value, leaving them without access to modern booking and operations tools.
Solution
Kong provides a comprehensive online booking system designed specifically for tour and activity operators, enabling them to take and confirm bookings, process payments, and manage availability 24/7. The platform includes dynamic pricing for group rates, flexible deposit options, promo codes, and shared-resource capacity management that automatically updates availability across all products when a resource is booked. Kong also offers custom guest data collection with digital liability waivers and integrates with AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing operators to delegate operational tasks such as rescheduling bookings and identifying at-risk sessions to an AI co-operator.
Target Audience
Primary customers are tour and activity operators, particularly those in Malaysia, Australia, Thailand, and Vietnam, who need enterprise-level booking and operations technology without subscription fees or upfront costs.
