If you've to any patience, you've probably searched the Jomres.net forums to find out if Jomres supports tours. The search would turn up a number of discussions on what tours are, if they should be part of a normal hotel booking etc.
As a consequence of some of those discussions I wrote a plugin called Jintour, which allows a property manager to create resource profiles (called Tours within jintour) which allow you to create a resource that can be made available between two dates and have a certain number of spaces for adults and kids, and individual prices for each.
This could only be booked within the wider context of a hotel booking, so it was ideal for something like letting guests book dinner in a restaurant, tickets for a bus trip to the zoo, that sort of thing. Items that could be included as part of a hotel booking.
Since then I've been considering the best way to also allow tour bookings that aren't part of a hotel's booking. This has lead me to extend Jintour considerably. The general idea is that property managers will create new properties that are Tour specific. In other words the property will not use the room booking functionality, instead it can use the existing Jintour functionality, bookings will use the existing booking engine but room checking etc is excluded.
Jomres itself requires a number of changes to support non-room based bookings, so to use v2 of Jintour you'll need Jomres v4.5.7 or later. Existing Jintour users will find the download in the download area of their Jintour purchase on
http://license-server.jomres.net.
The current v2 of Jintour should be considered Beta, in other words it's not expected to be fit to be used on a live server. Please only use it on a test server. All feedback is welcome.

due to the addition of the new Kunena forum and Jomsocial community, however it will remain in place for the foreseeable future because it's a very useful repository of snippets and information.
