Best practices for catalogues

Organize logically

Good chapter organization:
- By destination: Kenya | Tanzania | South Africa
- By experience: Safari | Beach | Cultural
- By duration: Short Breaks | Week-long | Extended
- By style: Luxury | Adventure | Family

Choose diverse images

For visual appeal:
- Vary images across itineraries
- Avoid repetitive first-destination images
- Use stunning, high-quality photos
- Show variety of experiences

Custom image tips:
- Wildlife for safari itineraries
- Beach scenes for coastal trips
- Cultural moments for experiential tours
- Aerial shots for overview itineraries

Name chapters clearly

Keep catalogues focused

Do:
-  Group related content
-  Create multiple catalogues for different audiences
-  Update regularly
-  Limit to 5-8 chapters for easy navigation

Don't:
-  Mix unrelated products
-  Create one massive catalogue with everything
-  Use vague chapter names
-  Let catalogues become outdated

Use mixed layouts strategically

When to use Mixed:
- Showcasing different trip types (safari vs beach)
- Varying client preferences
- Different visual styles needed
- Portfolio diversity important

When to use consistent theme:
- Brand consistency critical
- All similar trip types
- Simpler, streamlined presentation
