Building Tours - A Step by Step Guide
So you've seen some fun tours and want to make your own right? Great! Because Armchair Vacations makes it easy. Just follow the steps below:
 Step 1: Get Organized
Planning your tour in advance can really save a lot of time. If you have everything ready, the remaining steps will go very quickly. Every tour needs the following:
-
A tour idea.
-
Some tour stops.
-
Tour information (including pictures).
These three things will turn into the following parts of your tour:
-
A tour description.
-
A list of stops.
-
A description of each stop.
-
Pictures (one for each stop and one for the tour itself).
The tour stop descriptions and pictures are optional, but we highly recommend you create some text and find some images. The text can go in a lot of directions. What's special about this place? Is there a secret that you only know? Do you have advice for someone traveling there?
We also think pictures will make a better tour. The images can be your own or found on the Internet. Resize your images, if needed. 250 to 300 pixels is a good size. Finally, place all the adjusted images in one folder.
Important: Images must be properly credited and licensed (the copyright information must be properly displayed). Many authors are happy to share their images, but they need to be credited appropiately. Armchair Vacations makes this easy, you just need to pay attention to the licensing or attribution information displayed where you found the picture. Even if the images are your own, it's a good idea to protect them (more on this subject later in the lession).
