DISCOVERCreate a niche tourism app
Niche tourism app: your themed trips, and a traveler community for each departure
Birdwatchers, amateur astronomers, textile lovers: your travelers find the trips made for their passion, then meet the people they will travel with in a space reserved for their departure.
Without a line of code, give your specialist tour operator its own app: a catalog of themed trips and unusual experiences, one private space per departure for its travelers, messaging between them and notifications for one departure at a time.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
Trips built around a passion
One sheet per themed trip, open to anyone curious
Cranes in the Camargue in February, a textile trail through the weaving villages of Oaxaca, three nights under the Atacama sky: each trip has its sheet with the program, the physical level, the group size and the next departure dates. Photos from past editions show what lies ahead, and the key places sit on a map.
Themes that find their travelers
Wildlife watching
Bird migrations, whale season, bears at the salmon run.
Stargazing
Dark-sky reserves, eclipses, the northern lights.
Crafts
Weaving, ceramics, knife-making alongside local artisans.
Photography
Trips planned around the light, with a photographer.
Slow travel by rail
Night trains and scenic lines, with no flights.
Unusual experiences
A night in a lighthouse, a day with reindeer herders, a stay in a monastery.
Each departure has its own space
One user group per departure, one section only its travelers can open
The twelve travelers on the June 12 departure form the “Iceland, June 12” group. Their section holds the detailed program, the gear list for the theme, from binoculars to a spare camera battery, the meeting point at the airport and an introduction to the guide. Travelers on the September departure see their own section, not this one.
They get to know each other before leaving
Chat and profiles, so the group exists before the trip
With the Chat and Community extensions, travelers have a profile and write to one another in the app: who is bringing a tripod, who arrives the day before, who wants to share a taxi from the airport. On the first morning, the faces already have names.
A space per departure in the app, a messaging group or an email thread?
Three ways to bring a departure's travelers together. Here is what each one offers.
| Your app with GoodBarber | Messaging group | Email thread | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your name and your catalog around the group | your app, in the stores | the messaging app's name | your emails |
| Program and documents next to the conversation | in the departure's section | shared as messages | as attachments |
| Visible only to that departure's travelers | one user group per departure | depends on who is added | depends on the recipients |
| A notification from you to one departure | push to its group | a message in the group | an email |
| Your next themed trips presented | public sections of the app | no | in a newsletter |
After the trip, the group lives on
Travelers' photos, and next year's dates announced to the right people
Back home, travelers send their best photos through a form; you publish a gallery in the departure's section. When the next edition of the trip is scheduled, a push to that group tells the people who loved it first.

How much does a niche tourism app cost?
Each departure's private space runs on two extensions, Authentication and User groups. Take them on top of Premium, the first plan with iPhone and Android apps, or choose Pro, where they are already included. Chat and Community are installed from the Extension Store.
| Premium · native apps and web version | 55€ /month, billed yearly |
| Authentication, with Premium | 12€ /month |
| User groups, with Premium | 5€ /month |
| Pro · both extensions included | 105€ /month, billed yearly |
The stores bill Apple and Google developer accounts directly. Trips are paid to you outside the app: no commission applies.
Extension Store
What a specialist tour operator installs. Authentication and User groups are the foundation of the private spaces.
Niche tourism app: tour operators' questions
How do travelers join their departure's space?
They sign up in the app; once their booking is confirmed on your side, you place them in the departure's group in the back office. The section then appears in their menu.
Where do unusual experiences go, the ones that aren't full trips?
In a dedicated section, next to the themed trips: a night in a lighthouse or a day with reindeer herders gets a sheet, photos and a place on the map, and requests reach you through a form.
Can I write to the travelers of a single departure?
Yes: a push targeted at that departure's group, sent right away or scheduled. Nobody else receives it.
Can travelers pay for their trip in the app?
No: bookings and payments go through your usual channels; the app takes no money.
Can we also sell a subscription to our travel stories?
Not alongside the departure spaces: paid subscriptions work with their own login system, and that system has no user groups. Pick the model your business needs.
How much does a niche tourism app cost?
Premium with the two extensions for private spaces, or Pro on its own; in both cases, Chat comes from the Extension Store.
