Toursys alternative for safari operators and DMCs
Toursys is cloud CRM, quoting, operations, billing and accounting software for tour operators, DMCs and agencies, mainly in Latin America. MeisterCRM is a cloud travel CRM for safari operators and DMCs with a pricing engine at its core. Both price from supplier rates and both run a sales funnel, so the differences are in safari pricing rules, WhatsApp on the lead, maps and the free start. Here is how they compare.
The short answer
Toursys or MeisterCRM: which should you choose?
Choose Toursys if you run a receptive operation in Latin America and want a Spanish-first vendor with operations tools for guides and transport, e-invoicing, banking and accounting in the same system. Choose MeisterCRM if you sell safaris: park fees per person or per group, room allocation and age bands in the pricing engine, markup and margin per item, WhatsApp and Gmail on the lead, proposals with interactive maps in 40+ languages, and a free start with free onboarding and no setup fees.
Safari pricing rules built in
Both price from supplier rates. MeisterCRM adds park fees with group capacity, automatic room allocation and child prices by age band.
WhatsApp and Gmail on the lead
Toursys's CRM page describes web leads and alerts, not WhatsApp. MeisterCRM replies on WhatsApp and Gmail from the lead itself.
Map-rich proposals, no second tool
Branded web and PDF proposals with interactive route maps across 66 countries, generated from the priced itinerary without a Wetu connection.

When the price lives in a spreadsheet that one or two experienced agents understand, every quote depends on them. MeisterCRM keeps buying rates, validity dates, age bands, room rules, park fees, currencies and markup in the same record as the lead and the proposal, so any agent can quote from approved rates and a manager can review the margin before it goes out.
