Business Policy Registry
The canonical source of truth for business strategy & rules across all units. The ERP reads policy from here; agent MD / SOP files should reference or be updated from these policies.
Bespoke / Private Tour
7 policy/policies
The must-have fields needed before sending an initial proposal. Budget is captured only if the client provides it — if missing, give PPPD guidance instead of blocking.
- • Destination(s) confirmed.
- • Dates, or an approximate month + trip duration.
- • Travellers + room configuration.
- • Flights booked status — if not booked, ask whether they need flight help.
- • Budget only if the client provides it; if missing, provide DT-quality PPPD guidance instead of blocking (see pricing policy).
Captured if volunteered before the initial proposal (do not block on them), but required once a deposit is taken and the trip is refined.
- • Travel style & pace.
- • Hotel level / tier.
- • Guide / vehicle preferences.
- • Mobility / health needs.
- • Meals / dietary / religious restrictions.
- • Must-see / must-do and specific interests.
- • Special occasions and detailed preferences.
If the client provides a budget, capture it. If not, do NOT block — provide DT-quality per-person-per-day (PPPD) guidance by destination to set expectations.
- • Capture client budget when provided (with confidence level).
- • When budget is missing, use PPPD guidance by region instead of blocking.
- • PPPD guidance — Southeast Asia: from SGD 600 (historical minimum; verify against current source).
- • PPPD guidance — Rest of Asia: from SGD 800 (historical minimum; verify against current source).
- • PPPD guidance — Africa / Middle East / Oceania: from SGD 1000 (historical minimum; verify against current source).
- • PPPD guidance — Europe / Americas: from SGD 1200 (historical minimum; verify against current source).
- • Final price = DMC cost + minimum 10% margin (see margin gate).
Note: PPPD floors are historical minimums seeded from the brief — treat as guidance and verify against the current source before quoting.
Pre-deposit DMC outreach is a soft RFQ with no supplier commitment. Verify deposit in bank before any DMC/supplier commitment.
