**NEW** Booking.com mapping
· New room and rate plan creation will replace dynamic mapping
· Why? This is the 1st part of releasing full content API
· Same concept but allows you to create room type and rate plan in booking.com
· First phase – Instant only
EXCEPTION: First time connection to booking.com via Instant channel manager. For initial connection, all remains the same using dynamic mapping to map.
Reason: We cannot push sync until connection process is fully enabled
