"Official site" tags
An "official site" tag is a tag that can be added to your listing on google things to do. This will help your experience to be listed in 1st place on the admission surface as the normal ranking is based on the lowest price.
Note: Google is also auto-creating such tags for some attractions. However, this is automatically taken from the official website and will likely be deprecated in the nearest future.
Warning: Please only tag experiences where you are the official provider of the entrance ticket for the point of interest where you wish to list your experiences. Otherwise, Google may block your experiences.

Most asked questions
I am an Attraction owner and I want to remove all re-sellers offering my tickets under my Attraction business listing. Bookingkit does not control or have any influence on this. We advise that you try to contact the resellers directly and request removal as they are the only ones that can do this. Google will not be able to remove these listings for you.
Can an Online Travel Agency or other resellers also list my tour and activity experiences? Yes, if that re-seller has direct integration into GTTD and has access to your product/s they may list your product and direct the user to complete the transaction on their site.
If I choose not to claim the “Official Site” button, will my admission ticket still be listed? Yes.
Can an Online Travel Agency or other resellers claim the “Official Site” tag? No. Only the business owner can claim the “Official Site” tag
