Overview

An Interconnecting Area in RMS refers to a combined accommodation unit made up of two or more individual Areas (e.g., rooms, cabins, units) that are linked together to function as a single, bookable space.

Key Features

• Physically connected: The individual Areas typically have internal doors or connections allowing guests to move between them without exiting to a public space.

• Booked as one unit: Even though the Areas are separate in the system (and possibly in layout), they are booked together as one accommodation.

• Made from existing Areas: An Interconnecting Area pulls from existing Areas in the system, often from different Categories (e.g., a 1-Bedroom + a 2-Bedroom = a 3-Bedroom Interconnecting Area).

• Used to increase flexibility: Ideal for accommodating larger groups or families who want shared space but also some separation.

Example

A resort has:

• A 1-Bedroom Suite (Area A)

• A 2-Bedroom Apartment (Area B)

They can be set up as an Interconnecting Area (Area C) called “3-Bedroom Family Suite,” allowing the property to offer it as a single booking option for larger parties.
