ToucanTix opens up global sales channels for leisure facilities

Strategic partnership with bookingkit brings OTA distribution to the 360° platform

ToucanTix, the 360° ticketing and venue management platform for leisure facilities, announces its successful integration with bookingkit - Europe's leading SaaS solution for tours, attractions, and activities. This partnership allows ToucanTix customers to seamlessly connect their proven on-site infrastructure with global online distribution via leading OTA platforms such as GetYourGuide, TripAdvisor, and Google Things to do.

The internationally renowned exhibition KÖRPERWELTEN is one of the first major providers to use this integrated solution, benefiting from the combination of powerful on-site management and global digital reach.

The strength of ToucanTix: 360° operations platform

ToucanTix has established itself as a comprehensive solution for the entire operation of leisure facilities. The platform covers all operational areas - from point of sale (POS) and high-performance access control to catering and merchandising to capacity control, time slot management, and real-time analytics. All modules are seamlessly integrated and form a central system for daily operations.

“Our customers rely on ToucanTix for their entire operational management – from the first contact with the guest to billing at the end of the day,” explains Christoph Immel, CSO at ToucanTix. “With proven COMBASE technology in the background, we offer stability, scalability, and flexibility for amusement parks, zoos, attractions, and theme parks of all sizes. What was missing until now was a direct connection to the major international OTA platforms - we are now closing this gap with bookingkit.”

Market expansion through OTA distribution

Integration with bookingkit significantly expands the reach of ToucanTix customers: bookingkit's smart networking with numerous AI-supported features and, above all, its powerful channel manager enable the automatic distribution of quotas across international platforms, while ToucanTix continues to function as the leading system for all operational processes and the backend.

The advantages for operators:

• Global visibility: Easy access to OTAs such as GetYourGuide, TripAdvisor, Google Things to do
• Central control: All capacities and bookings run through the ToucanTix system
• Real-time synchronization: Millisecond-accurate quota matching prevents overbookings
• Seamless check-in: Tickets from all channels work natively with ToucanTix access control
• No system changes: The proven ToucanTix infrastructure remains at the heart of operations

Technical integration in detail

The system integration between ToucanTix and bookingkit was developed from the ground up for professional requirements:

• Instant Inventory Sync: Real-time synchronization of all availability across all channels
• Flex ticket support: Full compatibility with flexible ticket options and time slot management
• Automated booking flow: International bookings flow directly into the ToucanTix system via the channel manager
• Zero-friction entry: Digital tickets are natively compatible with ToucanTix access control
• Comprehensive data integration: All booking data, visitor information, and sales centrally stored in the ToucanTix backend

Christoph Immel adds: "The demands on leisure facilities are constantly increasing: Today's operators must simultaneously ensure smooth on-site operations, maintain a stable backend, and build a strong international online presence. This is exactly where our partnership with bookingkit comes in. We enable our customers to maintain their proven ToucanTix infrastructure while benefiting from bookingkit's powerful online sales engine and extensive reseller network. This is a real win-win situation for all operators who do not want to compromise on local efficiency or global growth."

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 networked ecosystem to create maximum value for operators. The fact that a global brand like KÖRPERWELTEN is successful with this setup confirms that our ‘one platform’ approach to online growth is perfectly complemented by specialized on-site systems."
