The RMS Channel Manager enables connections to a variety of Online Travel Agents, Booking Engines, Distributors and Global Distribution Systems. The mapping of a Category and Rate combination determines the prices and inventory available to the channel.
Connection Preparation
Prior to connecting to G'Day Parks, please review your current rate setup to ensure it meets the criteria below.
- Rate Setup: The person base must be the same across all rate periods for any given room/rate.
- Rate Period: Rates should always be valid for 365 Days, it is recommend to use the "all year around rate period" and place stop sells for dates it is not selling. This will ensure G'Day parks have consistent person base across the entire period.
- Rate Updates: Occupancy-based pricing sent for each occupant will start from 1 pax, up to the maximum occupancy set against the category.
- Additional Adults: The additional adult charges are accounted for in the occupancy based pricing.
- Additional Child: Only the first additional child charge will be sent to G’day Parks.
- Additional Infant: Only the first additional infant charge will be sent to G’day Parks.
