How to apply Package Validity?

STAAH MAX - How to apply Package Validity?

The Package Validity module allows a property to define Validity period(s) for a package.

A package can have multiple validity dates assigned to a package. Within this module a property can:
  1. Set bookable dates/the period which this package is available (All year round, Special event dates etc etc).
  2. Minimum stay restrictions, for a specific period (Special event dates, high demand dates).
  3. Set rate calculation (Multiplier/Surcharge), for a specific time frame (Event dates/Public holidays).
  4. Ability to set a different Extra guest charge for special event dates.
  5. Assign Cancellation policy based on date range.

Where do I find this?

Booking Engine>Packages>Edit Package>Edit Validity. Once selected, you will see the following screen which will enable you to set required details.


Validity Period setup options
