  Use a Unique Tour ID: If the tour ID is already in use, choose a different, unique identifier for the new tour you are trying to create.
  
  
  Modify Existing Tour: If the tour you are trying to create is meant to replace or modify an existing one, consider updating the existing tour instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or guidelines for naming conventions and tour creation processes within your organization to avoid conflicts.
