On the home screen you'll see a range of colourful icons which relate to a variety of different categories. Within these groupings, all your home regions' activities and attractions have been organised into subcategories.

This was created with newer staff members in mind; to help them make the sale when they aren’t sure of the name of the operator, or to provide some inspiration when clients haven't decided what they want to do.

Using the Categories

As an example; selecting ‘Air’ and then ‘Hang Gliding’ in Queenstown brings up the following operators:

With just two Hang Gliding operators in Queenstown, this subcategory is only small.

It is worth noting, however, that any operator who offers any activity with a component that falls into the specified subcategory will be listed; not just the primary activity providers. Horse Riding in Queenstown provides a good example:

As well as the horse trekking companies, we also see Heli Tours, Real Journeys and Rippled Earth Kayaking who all offer products which include horse riding.

Clicking the symbol will show which activities they offer that fall within the subcategory.

For High Country Horses, naturally all their trips feature horse riding and so the product list for the subcategory is comprehensive:

Rippled Earth Kayaking, however, only offers one horse riding combo option:

You can move away from the selected operator by clicking the symbol of another company, by re-selecting the subcategory, or by choosing another category or subcategory.

Alternatively, clicking on the logo will take you through to the operator’s availability page for more information, or to proceed with a booking.

Category Explanations

The Affordable category has within it a series of price ranges, from ‘$25 and under’, up to ‘$101 to $150 range’ into which any activities or products which fit the range have been allocated.

The Family category breaks child-friendly activities down into age ranges of 0-4yrs, 5-10yrs, and 11+ years, so parents can be given a variety of ideas for ways to entertain their little ones.

Unlike all the other icons, the Phone category doesn’t relate to operator listings within RTBS, but instead takes you to a list of phone numbers that could come in handy for anyone working in a frontline sales and information role. Included in the list are contact numbers for the local council, for international embassies, airlines, taxis, and banks.
