Can I register a scanned traveler directly on a tour?

Yes. You select the package and room type during the transfer, and the traveler record is created with them.

Passport Scanning

Scan the passport, the record is ready

In peak season, typing hundreds of passports into the system one by one takes hours and invites errors. A single wrong character in a passport number can send the work back to the start at the visa stage.

With Turasistan Reader, passport data is never typed by hand: the phone reads the passport chip via NFC and transfers the data and photo straight to the traveler record. Because the data comes from the passport's own chip, it is the most reliable way to register a traveler.
