UltimaTour Connect

UltimaTour Connect helps an operator prepare and submit onboarding information to UltimaTour Reviews from inside WordPress.

It can be used to:

• enter business, contact, location, backlink, and tour details
• verify the participation email
• prepare logo and tour images before submission
• submit the operator participation record to UltimaTour Reviews
• sync participation status back from Reviews
• surface the secure guest review link and QR code directly in the top dashboard cards after approval

It is intentionally narrow in scope. It is not a booking engine, calendar, OTA manager, inventory tool, or public review dashboard.

What the plugin does not do

• It does not create backlinks automatically.
• It does not insert hidden public links or credits.
• It does not publish public reviews automatically.
• It does not use an external QR image service.
• It does not load remote executable admin JavaScript or CSS.
• It does not track visitors silently.

External Services

UltimaTour Connect connects to external services only when an administrator intentionally uses the onboarding, verification, mapping, or participation workflows inside wp-admin.

This plugin does not automatically send data to UltimaTour merely upon activation.
