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.

Setup (recommended)

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

Why do we need a car-type transport for hotel-only bookings?

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

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

Will Tourpaq generate tickets for hotel-only bookings?

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

How is availability controlled for hotel-only bookings?

Availability is still controlled by:

• hotel allotments (if used)

• the car transport Fix quota (allotment)

Can guests choose their own arrival and departure times?

Yes. There is no real schedule.

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

Do we need a separate pricelist for hotel-only?

Usually yes.

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