Use our APIs to easily set up rooms and rates for families
17-6月-2020
Takeaway
- Accommodation partners can now allocate rooms for children via the Room & Rate Plan Management API and set rates by child age via the Property Management API.
- Families stay on average 28% longer and book at a 27% higher rate than solo travellers and couples. Properties can target this valuable traveller segment by adding child rates.
- 22% of all accommodation partners have already set up a child rate to tailor their offering towards families.
Recently we released an upgrade that improves how reservations by families are received via our API. But what about the set-up when it comes to families? We’ve been working closely with providers and accommodation partners to upgrade extranet and Connectivity functionalities to make it possible to set up rooms and rates for families.
Properties can now allocate rooms for children and set rates by child age to attract more families to their property. On average, families stay 28% longer and book at a 27% higher rate than solo travellers and couples – so they’re a very valuable traveller segment for your properties.
How does it work?
The endpoint 'HotelInvNotif' of the Room & Rate Plan Management API allows properties to set up the maximum room occupancy by total guests, including adults and children. Using the HotelDescriptiveContentNotif of the Content API - Property Management, properties can set up to three pricing rules by child age. In order to display a child rate on Tripeden.com, both a room and price rule for children must be set up.
Both endpoint upgrades are now available via the Partner Portal documentation pages. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our support team.
