Hotel combination

Overview

A hotel combination is a type of itinerary where a customer stays in multiple hotels during a single holiday. For example, a customer might spend two days in one hotel and five days in another. The hotels used in a combination must already exist in the Tourpaq system.

Unlike regular hotels, combination hotels do not have their own allotments. Instead, they rely on the allotments of the individual hotels defined in the itinerary.

Purpose

The hotel combination feature allows agencies to offer multi-hotel packages, providing flexibility in designing holiday itineraries while maintaining accurate pricing and allotments from existing hotels.

How to Define a Hotel Combination

1. Create a New Hotel Combination

   • Add a new hotel in the same way as a regular hotel.

   • Make sure to check the "Hotel Combination" checkbox.

   
2. Add Hotel List and Transport

   • Navigate to the Hotel Combination tab.

   

   • Define the list of hotels the customer will stay in. The order matters: the first hotel in the list is where the customer will start their stay.

   • Multiple hotels can be added.

   • Optionally, assign transports to the hotel combination; this restricts the combination to specific transport services.

   Single-Hotel Option:

   • If only one hotel is in the list, a checkbox will appear.

   • Checked: the hotel appears on the ticket.

   • Unchecked: the main hotel appears instead.

3. Assign Rooms

   • Each hotel has multiple room types.

   • Hotel combinations also have room types, but these are placeholders (“fake” rooms).

   • Map the combination hotel rooms to the actual rooms in the Hotel Combination Room tab.

   

   Room Mapping Grids:

   • Grid 1: Map combination rooms to regular hotel rooms. Rooms must match specifications closely.

   • Grid 2: Map transports with intervals to hotels. Specify the number of days the customer will spend at each hotel per interval.

   Example:

   • Transport BLLPVK-A7-5A has 4 intervals:

     • Interval 1: 7 days

     • Interval 2: 14 days

     • Interval 3: 21 days

     • Interval 4: 28 days

   • A customer booking interval 1 could stay 4 days in SIV150 and 3 days in AGI150.

   • Interval 2 could split evenly: 7 days in each hotel.

   • These day distributions are predefined; customers cannot change them.

4. Create Price List

   • Once rooms, hotels, and transports are defined, create a price list for the combination.

   • Important: After the price list is created, you cannot change the hotels, rooms, or transport.

   • Ensure allotments exist for the itinerary hotels; otherwise, the price list cannot be generated.

Troubleshooting Price List Generation

1. Check Regular Hotel Allotments

   • Navigate to: Hotel → Hotel (SIV150/AGI150) → Allot.

   • Verify that allotments exist for the required period, room, and quantity.

2. Check Transport Allotments

   • If creating a price list for a specific date (e.g., 07.06.2026) fails, the transport may not have an allotment on that date.

   • Add an allotment in Fixed Quota and recreate the price list.
