Countries can be set up and then be linked to Destinations. Tourplan will operate without Countries and Destinations being setup.

NOTE: Countries may not need to be defined, some companies may not need to group locations or destinations into countries. It is important to note that service searches are done by location in Tourplan.

The terminology "Destinations" and "Countries" are used in Code Setup purely as a label for these two levels of product filtering which sit above the Location Code level. The functionality to search for services within Quotes and Bookings is not enabled by default. There are four INI settings. Two of these - DST_ENABLED and CTR_ENABLED - will enable Destination and/or Country and the other two - DST_LABEL and CTR_LABEL will allow these fields to have user defined labels.
