Additional information:


  1. Guests selected will are considered as adults when displaying booking in extranet. 
  2. Booking delivery to PMS – number of guests are passed as adults. This will ensure PMS will continue to receive bookings
  3. Confirmation email will display guests, rather than adult/child
  4. No impact to existing bookings that have children booked.
  5. Number of guests is based on adult setup in room type module. We recommend before enabling feature properties review room type setup and adjust adult setup to match rooms full occupancy.
