# Integrate External Content

## Choose your path

In order to find your best integration setup, you need to understand on how you want to create releases in GUIBO. A **release** is one set of travel documents published for one booking — delivered to travelers via a Trip Link. Every booking in GUIBO results in one release.

There are two fundamentally different ways to create releases. Which one is right for you depends on one question:

## Where is the trip structure defined?

|                      | In GUIBO                                                                                                                                                                   | In your external system                                                                            |

| **Approach**         | **Guidebook-based releases**                                                                                                                                               | **On-demand releases**                                                                             |
| **How it works**     | You maintain trip structure in GUIBO (once per season). Each booking creates a release from an existing guidebook, personalized with accommodations, documents, and dates. | Your external system sends the complete trip structure per booking. No guidebooks in GUIBO needed. |
| **Trip structure**   | Same for every booking of a product (except personalization).                                                                                                              | No standard trip structure. Differs from booking to booking.                                       |
| **Typical use case** | Standardized tours with consistent itineraries                                                                                                                             | Tailor-made trips, dynamic packaging                                                               |

| Your situation                                                      | Next step                                                                                                            |
