For Indian tour operators with guests on fjord days in Bergen, Indian buyers of Norwegian seafood and exporters quoting Norwegian importers: what a tour group's WhatsApp thread looks like, which rate applies to guests on +91 numbers and contacts on +47, which templates to write, and when to send on Bergen time.

See it work

The evening before a fjord day

An Indian tour desk writes to a guest staying in Bergen. Play the thread: one template, a question about the boat, boarding passes, all on the guest's Indian number.

The template carries only what the guest needs to act on: where, when and what to bring. Everything after her reply is a conversation, answered by whoever is on the desk in India, with documents attached.

Send the reminder the evening before by Bergen time, not the morning of: in summer a 07:00 Bergen message would leave India at 10:30 IST, too late for a guest already queueing for breakfast.

Bryggen at 08:15, Sognefjord by noon

WhatsAppSystem notice

A notice WhatsApp itself shows in the chat — not a message from either side.

The first message is an approved utility template, sent at 19:15 Bergen time, 22:45 in India during summer time. The guest's reply opens a 24-hour window for free-form answers. The guest is roaming on a +91 number, so every message is charged at the India rate.

What an Indian desk runs for Bergen

Reminders on a schedule, and people to answer the replies.

  1. Broadcast campaigns

    Schedule a tour group's evening-before reminder for 19:00 Bergen time and send it to the segment of guests on that day's trip.

  2. Shared team inbox

    Guests' questions arrive late in the Indian evening; transfers and private notes keep each family's thread with whoever is on duty.

  3. Template manager and library

    Draft en, nb and hi versions of a meeting-point reminder and track each one through Meta's approval before the season.

  4. Published per-market rates

    Rates for +91 and +47 numbers are published in rupees, so a tour's messages can be priced into the package.

Guides for Bergen teams

Questions Bergen businesses ask

Our tour group meets its guide at Bryggen at 08:15. When should the reminder leave India?+
The evening before. A reminder at 19:15 Bergen time leaves India at 22:45 IST during Norwegian summer time and at 23:45 IST in winter. Schedule it by Bergen time, and send the meeting point, the time and what to bring as a utility template.
Our guests on the Sognefjord day roam on their Indian numbers. Which rate do their messages cost?+
The India rate, because Meta charges by the recipient's country code: ₹0.19 for a utility template and ₹0.145 per service reply. If a guest buys a Norwegian SIM and gives you the +47 number, messages to it cost the Norway rate, ₹1.50 for the same template.
Our hotel kitchens in Mumbai buy salmon through a Bergen exporter. Can our purchase team message the exporter on WhatsApp from India?+
Yes. Purchase orders, shipment questions and certificate requests are business conversations, not marketing. If the exporter writes to you, your team replies freely within 24 hours; to start a thread yourself, send an approved utility template to a contact who agreed to hear from you.
Can our templates for Bergen boat operators and guides be in Norwegian?+
Yes. Norwegian (nb) is on Meta's template list, alongside English (en). Each language version is approved separately. Many Norwegian partners are comfortable in English, so start with the language they write to you in and add the nb version if they prefer it.
A guest who toured Bergen last June asks for next summer's fjord packages. Can we send them on WhatsApp?+
Yes, if the guest agreed to receive offers. A package offer is a marketing template, at ₹0.94 per delivered message to a +91 number. Record when and where the guest said yes, and include a way to stop; InfiQ's consent records keep the source and time and enforce STOP.
Our travel company has a Norwegian AS in Bergen and its parent in India. Which one should hold the InfiQ account?+
InfiQ is built for India-based businesses: it bills in rupees with GST and keeps customer data in India. If the Indian parent runs guest messaging, it can hold the account and message both +91 and +47 numbers. If your business is based in Bergen, talk to sales about whether InfiQ fits.
