The first post-pandemic year in which the accommodation industry was unaffected by the COVID-19 outbreak is behind us, but it was not an easy time - new problems were on the horizon: the war in Ukraine, rising prices for products and services and the energy crisis. On the other hand, tourists, after two years of isolation, dreamed of nothing but a successful holiday. Despite the difficulties, can we declare the past year a revival of the tourism industry? IdoBooking's figures show that yes.

Maintaining the rules contained in the Agreement and the existing Terms and Conditions for introducing new terms, we present in advance the changes to the IdoBooking Terms and Conditions.

As the largest booking site, Booking.com handles thousands of bookings from all over the world on a daily basis. With such a huge database, as well as numerous analyses and tests, it develops promotions that really work. However, in order to use them successfully and to control revenue, it is worth connecting all sales channels to one system. This is where Channel Manager, a tool from the IdoBooking booking system, comes in with a solution.

The owner's panel is a functionality that allows flat managers serving property owners to work conveniently. It is popular with our customers because of its instant generation of booking summaries and billing. In addition, owners can view the calendar and control availability in their flat. We have made several improvements to the module.

Great information for those who have dedicated menus or meal sizes depending on the age of the guests. More often than not, these are simply smaller and also cheaper portions for the little ones. A new type of add-on in IdoBooking allowing the creation of two variants will allow you to refine your offer to accommodate families with children.

After many discussions with our customers to learn about their needs and the way we work, we have decided to change the settings related to the booking card. It is now possible to make adjustments to dates, statuses, amounts and notes in orders up to 60 days after the end of a guest's stay.

Due to the regulations in the Agreement and the existing Terms and Conditions regarding the rules for introducing new fees, we are presenting, one month in advance, the changes to the IdoBooking Price List and Terms and Conditions.

When you have a large accommodation facility with different pricing options, getting everything into the system is a challenge. In order to speed up this process, we have introduced the possibility to import amounts from a CSV file under a specific price plan.

The day-to-day work with the calendar is related to the ongoing addition of bookings, blockades or offers. Blockades also underpin some of the integrations within Channel Manager. Although availability is blocked once they have been added, they do not provide the opportunity to use many useful tools. With the introduction of a new feature - quickly turning blockades into bookings - this problem will disappear.

Please be informed that as of July 25, 2022, there will be a change in the invoices issuing process for IAI services. We will stop issuing invoices immediately after payment, which has been the case until now, and instead of such invoices, we will only issue a summary invoice at the end of the month. We will also stop accepting overpayments for subsequent invoices - if they accumulate, they will be refunded after contacting the Support Center.

When putting together an offer for your business and using a modern system, you can offer guests different payment methods for their booking. Which ones to choose and does this have any real impact on the number of bookings? These are questions that plague anyone starting their own tourism business.
