Overview
AR4HO TravelPro runs a whole travel agency from one WordPress site: the public website, tour sales and bookings, plus the back office (stock, purchasing, staff, attendance and payroll). Developer: AR4HO. Tagline: Explore More. Travel Better.
It is built for tour operators and destination management companies selling Egypt tours: Nile cruises, cultural tours, beach holidays, desert safaris, hotels and airport transfers.
| Component | Package | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| AR4HO TravelPro theme | ar4ho-travelpro-theme.zip | The public website: design, pages, language and currency switching, SEO and security hardening |
| AR4HO TravelPro plugin | ar4ho-travelpro-plugin.zip | The data and business logic: tours, destinations, hotels, bookings, customers, enquiries, the admin dashboard and every back-office module |
The plugin holds all content and records, so the business data survives a theme change. The theme needs the plugin, and the plugin also works with other themes through its shortcodes.
Built-in across both: Arabic and English with full right-to-left layout, EGP as base currency with display in USD, EUR, GBP, SAR, AED and more, mobile-first design, search-engine optimisation and secure access.
Website theme
The theme gives the agency a modern, photography-led travel site whose content is created in one click and edited from WordPress.

Exchange rates can be entered by hand or refreshed automatically once a day.

Roles, dashboards and approvals
Each staff member logs in to a dashboard and menus that match their job, and money or stock moves only after the right people approve.
| Role | Dashboard and access |
|---|---|
| General Manager | Everything: all KPIs, final approvals, settings |
| Travel Consultant | Bookings, customers, enquiries, tours and prices |
| Finance Officer | Purchase orders, payroll, payments, approvals by amount |
| HR Officer | Employees, departments, leave, shifts, rosters, attendance, payroll preparation |
| Storekeeper | Stores, items, stock, issuing requisitions, receiving deliveries |
| Purchasing Officer | Suppliers, purchase requests and orders |
| Department Manager | Approves their own department’s requisitions, purchases and leave |
| Employee | Own portal: leave requests, clock-in, attendance, payslips |
approval workflow · requisitions, purchase requests and orders, leave, payroll
Chains are set per document type in Settings, as steps of role plus minimum amount (for example, a purchase over a set value adds the General Manager). Nobody can approve a document they created, and every decision is stored with name, time and comment in the audit log.
