Tourplan is a full multi-currency system. This means that in operating tours, the Tour Operator is able to purchase services from suppliers in different currencies and then sell those services to agents in a different currency.

Before the system can be used, at least one currency must be set up, and that is the Base or Default Currency. The default currency is generally the currency of the country in which the tour operator is based, and in which final accounting figures are going to be produced.
