Project Summary
Booking platform for a Tenerife tour company with Stripe payments, a staff CMS and automated booking alerts. Luxe Excursions sells luxury tours, packages and rentals from a shop in Costa Adeje, Tenerife.
Key Challenges
The first booking planner tried to schedule every activity at booking time and refused 75% of 3-activity itineraries on a 3-day stay. All 164 refusals came from weekday timetable data in the CMS, not van capacity, and 3 of 4 partner venue timetables were wrong. At launch only the guest got an email when they booked, so staff did not hear about new sales.
Project Deliverables
Booking platform with Stripe payments, a staff CMS and automated booking alerts. App Router builds with server rendering for pages that need to rank, and content the client’s own staff can edit. Luxe Excursions runs on Next.js 16 this way.
Project Solution
We changed the model to pay first, schedule after: guests choose their activities and pay, and staff assign every date and time afterwards. Capacity clashes became notes for staff, never an error for the guest, and tickets hide times until staff approve the schedule. The team now gets an email for every paid booking and trip request, sent once per booking so a payment retry never sends a duplicate.
Project Outcome
Delivered the booking platform for the Tenerife tour company. The site is live at luxeexcursionstenerife.com. After the timetable data was corrected, the booking refusal rate went to 0%.
