Multi-currency pricing: a practical guide for tour operators
Price in the currencies your customers actually pay with. A practical guide to exchange rates, rounding and local payment gateways.
Why multi-currency matters
Customers trust prices in their own currency and pay with the gateways they know. Multi-currency pricing removes the two biggest objections in travel: confusion and mistrust.
Set sensible base prices
Price in your base currency first, then add exchange rates for the currencies you want to accept.
Round for trust
Nobody trusts a price of 4,837.29 NPR. Round to clean numbers in each currency.
Pick local gateways
Stripe and PayPal cover the world; FonePay, eSewa and Khalti cover Nepal. Offer the mix your market expects.
Keep rates fresh
Review your exchange rates monthly. Small margins on currency are the quiet killer of tour margins.
