LT Travel
Joomla template for small travel agencies and tour operators: each tour drawn as a route line with nights per stop, departure dates, day-by-day pages and enquiries.
The Joomla demo is coming. The preview shows the same design on its WordPress version.
The Joomla version of this design is being rebuilt on the stack below. Until it is released, the download is the current version of LT Travel for Joomla.
Key features
LT Travel draws every tour as a single line from first stop to last, with each stretch as long as the nights spent there, so the pace of a trip is clear before anyone reads the itinerary. A departures table shows dates and how many places remain. Pages cover tours by region, three sample tour pages, private and group trips, the guides, responsible travel and a trip enquiry form.
- Tours drawn as route linesEach stop is a dot with its arrival day and nights, and one tick per night along the line shows slow stays and moving days at a glance.
- Departures with places leftA table lists dates, nights and a status for each departure, such as confirmed, a few places left or waiting list.
- Day-by-day tour pagesEach tour page opens with its route line and continues with the facts, a daily itinerary and dates, with what is and is not included.
- Quickstart or template packageStart from a full copy of the demo site (the quickstart package of the Pro editions, restored with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser) or add the template to a Joomla site you already run.
- Fonts that ship with itVollkorn and Ysabeau Office are bundled with the template, so pages make no requests to Google Fonts.
- Change it without codeColours, fonts, logo, header and footer are Helix Ultimate template options; page sections are edited in SP Page Builder Lite.
The design, section by section
Screens of the design from its WordPress version; the Joomla version is built from the same design and pages.
What you edit, and where
| What | Where | How |
|---|---|---|

| Page sections (home, inner pages) | SP Page Builder 6 Lite (free) | Reorder, duplicate or delete whole sections in SP Page Builder and edit the words in its text editor; the layout inside a section is fixed HTML, not drag and drop. |
| Contact form | Convert Forms Free | Fields, the email it is sent to and the thank-you message (Components > Convert Forms). |

Two ways to install
- Quickstart package (Pro)A complete Joomla site with the template, the extensions and the demo pages, menus and modules, in Pro Standard and Pro Unlimited. Best for a new site: upload it to an empty folder and restore it with Akeeba Kickstart and Akeeba's restoration script in the browser, then replace the sample texts and images.
- Template package (all editions)Only the template, and the only package in Free. Install it in System > Install > Extensions on a Joomla site you already have, then build your pages; the demo layout is not imported.
What an AI assistant can do for a Joomla site
No AI writes into your Joomla site by itself. These are the honest options today; you stay in control of every change.
- AI help in ticket support Available now with Pro Open a ticket and you get an instant AI-drafted answer; a person from our team follows up. Ticket support
- Texts for your pages Works with any AI assistant Ask an assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to draft your page texts in your own words, then paste them into the SP Page Builder text editor and your Joomla articles.
- Small design changes Works with any AI assistant Describe the change and ask for CSS; paste it into Helix Ultimate's Custom Code tab and check the page before you save.
- AI kit WordPress version only The kit that lets an assistant edit pages safely (instructions, ready prompts, a checked import tool) exists for our WordPress themes only. Nothing in a Joomla site is changed by AI unless you paste it in. See the WordPress version

Questions
Is it only for tour operators?
No. Walking holiday companies, rail travel specialists and agents who plan private trips can use it too, as long as they sell itineraries by enquiry rather than instant bookings.
Do I need SP Page Builder Pro?
No. The pages use the free SP Page Builder Lite, with Convert Forms Free for the contact form; Helix Ultimate is free too.
Can customers pay online?
Not in this version. The shop pages are a product catalogue with example prices; each product links to the contact form (“Ask about this”).
Quickstart or template package: which one do I need?
Take the quickstart package for a new site that should look like the demo. Take the template package to restyle a Joomla site you already have; your content stays and the demo pages are not added.
Why does the preview open a WordPress site?
The Joomla demo of this design is not online yet. The Joomla version uses the same design and pages, so the preview shows what you get; the Joomla demo will replace it.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free is the template package with the footer credit. Pro adds the quickstart package (a full copy of the demo), credit removal and ticket support: Pro Standard for one website with a year of updates, Pro Unlimited for unlimited websites with lifetime updates.
