The process of adding a new room rate involved defining the rate for each seasonal period within a contract.

• Seasonal Period Specificity:

  • Room rates were not applied globally to the entire contract. Instead, they were tailored to each individual seasonal period (e.g., Low Season, High Season, Peak Season).

  • This allowed for flexibility in pricing based on demand and other seasonal factors.

• Comprehensive Rate Details:

  • For each seasonal period, a complete set of rate details was provided. This included:

    • Room Rate: The base price for the room itself.

    • Extra Bed Cost: The additional charge for providing an extra bed.

    • Breakfast Cost: The cost of including breakfast with the room.

    • Service Fees: Any applicable service charges, such as cleaning fees or resort fees.

• Purpose:

  • The goal of this process was to ensure accurate and granular pricing for each room type throughout the entire contract period.

  • This enabled the booking system to display the correct rates to customers based on their travel dates."
