Hotel Only Bookings

Create hotel-only bookings in Tourpaq Office using a car-type transport as a placeholder. Covers setup, allotment (Fix quota), pricing, and FAQ.

Overview

Hotel Only Bookings let you book accommodation without flights/buses.

Tourpaq handles this by using a car-type transport as a placeholder.

How it works

You create a transport with type Car.

That transport behaves like a normal transport in setup:

  • Interval definition

  • Timetable

  • Fix quota (allotment)

But it does not represent an actual scheduled service:

  • no airline

  • no tickets

  • guests choose their own arrival/departure time

Preconditions

  • You can create/edit transports.

  • You can create/edit price lists for the hotel(s) you want to sell as hotel-only.

1

1. Create a car-type transport

Create a transport with Transport mode/type = Car.

Configure it like a normal transport (interval + timetable).

See Transport creation if you need the full transport setup flow.

2

2. Create Fix quota (allotment)

Create a Fix quota on the car transport.

This controls how many “hotel-only” bookings can be made per departure/check-in pattern.

3

3. Create a pricelist between the car transport and the hotel

Create a pricelist for:

  • the car transport (placeholder)

  • the hotel you want to sell as hotel-only

See Pricelist Setup if you need the pricelist workflow.

Book a hotel-only stay

Start a booking as usual in New Booking.

Then:

  1. Select the car transport instead of a flight/bus.

  2. Select the hotel/room as usual.

  3. Complete passenger details, extras, and payments as normal.

Purpose

Use hotel-only bookings when you need a standard booking flow, but without real transport.

This keeps:

  • availability and allotment logic consistent (Fix quota)

  • pricing logic consistent (pricelists, discounts, supplements)

  • exports and reporting consistent (still a booking with a “transport”)

FAQ

chevron-rightWhy do we need a car-type transport for hotel-only bookings?hashtag

Because Tourpaq pricing and availability are built around transport + hotel.

The car transport is a safe placeholder that keeps the booking flow consistent.

chevron-rightWill Tourpaq generate tickets for hotel-only bookings?hashtag

No. The car transport does not represent an actual transport service.

chevron-rightHow is availability controlled for hotel-only bookings?hashtag

Availability is still controlled by:

  • hotel allotments (if used)

  • the car transport Fix quota (allotment)

chevron-rightCan guests choose their own arrival and departure times?hashtag

Yes. There is no real schedule.

The booking uses the transport framework, but guests are not tied to a flight/bus timetable.

chevron-rightDo we need a separate pricelist for hotel-only?hashtag

Usually yes.

Hotel-only is typically priced via a pricelist that uses the car transport instead of a flight/bus transport.
