In addition to the standard prices for different age groups, you can also define various promotional discounts in the tour operator contracts, e.g. discounts for extended stays, early booking discounts, etc.
Free nights
Here you can define in which cases the reservation has free nights. You can specify how many and which days are to be free - those at the beginning or end of the stay.
- Text (1) - The entered text will be added to the charge text to make it clear how the price of the night was formed.
- Filters (2) - Which bookings the free nights apply to. Define the necessary filters, you can combine between minimum and maximum stays, room types, multiple periods for the voucher issue date, arrival date of the reservation, as well as a period in which the booking has at least one night (In Hotel).
- Activation Code (3) - choose whether the discount will only be activated for a specific activation code entered in the booking;
- Discount (4) - you can specify which elements of the price should be free - accommodation, extra board or additional package services. If you do not select any item, all will be free;
- Free nights at the beginning and/or at the end of the stay (5) - You can fill in both fields. The price of the nights and boards, for the selected days, will be 0.
The free nights do not affect the city tax, if you have chosen to be charged one.
In the above example, we have created a 7=6 condition:
- We have defined that the stay must be exactly 7 night through the Min/Max options.
- Applicable to both room types part of the contract.
- Applicable to reservations with voucher dates between 01 Jan and 31 Mar.
- No restriction on when the arrival must be.
- The discount is applied only on the price of the overnight stay (extra board and other additional packages are not discounted).
- We indicated that the first night will be the discounted one.
Discounts
In this section you can define different percentage discounts, for example early bird discounts.
- Text (6) - The entered text will be added to the charge text to make it clear how the nightly rate was formed.
- Filters (7) - Which bookings the discount applies to. Define the necessary filters, you can combine between minimum and maximum stays, room types, multiple periods for the voucher issue date, the arrival date of the booking as well as a period in which the booking has at least one night (In Hotel).
- Activation Code (8) - choose whether the discount will only be activated for a specific activation code entered in the booking;
- What to Discount (9) - Accommodation, Extra Boards and/or Packages.
- Apply to (10) - you can specify to which nights of the stay of these bookings the discount to be applied. Only the nights falling in the period are subject to price reduction.
Two methods for discounting (11) are supported : 'Without accumulation' and 'With Accumulation'.
- Without accumulation will calculate the discount on the base price calculated to date, without taking into account any other discounts applied.
- With accumulation will calculate the discount by first subtracting the previously applied discounts and applying the discount percentage to the resulting amount. In this model, the consistency of the discount calculation is important, because each successive discount depends on the previous calculations.
- Order of calculation (12) - Determine in what order the discounts will be calculated by entering an sorting order number.
Exclusive (13) - if the setting is enabled, the specific discount is applied alone and is not combined with other discounts.
Example: If an exclusive discount is applied to a specific booking, all other discounts will be ignored, even if the booking meets their terms.
- Discount percentage (14) - set the % of the discount.
In this example, we have created the following discounts:
- Two early bird discounts (EB15, EB10), which are activated for all bookings whose voucher dates fall within the specified periods (01.01-31.01; 01.02-28.02).
- No requirements for minimum stay, arrival dates, or hotel stay duration have been added;
- The discount will apply to the room rate and the extra board additional payment. Additional packages are not eligible for a discount.
- Additional discount SPO20, which activates only for bookings with the selected activation code "SPO20".
- No requirements for minimum stay, arrival dates, or hotel stay duration have been added;
- The discount is marked as "Exclusive", ensuring that no other discounts will activate for this booking, even if the necessary conditions for voucher date are met;
- The discount will apply to the room rate and the extra board additional payment.
