Understanding Country Rates

Country Rates can help you unlock domestic and international demand by offering great prices to travellers in countries you particularly want to target. You can boost your bookings by customising the discounts you offer to specific markets: the country where your property’s located, other individual countries, entire regions or the whole world.

Adding Country Rates is a proactive step that you can take as part of your pricing strategy in order to increase your property’s occupancy. You’ll strengthen your pricing position by offering a discount only to potential guests in the countries you need a boost in. And if things change, you can manage your Country Rates at any time.

You can choose to offer any discount amount of 5% or above. We’ll only display this discount amount to people using our platform in the countries or regions you want to target. Country Rates are active throughout the year, and you can choose a maximum of 30 blocked dates when they don’t apply.

Country Rates apply to all of your rooms and Rate Plans. The Country Rate discount is on top of any Genius discounts you offer and any other promotions you’ve set up, except Mobile Rates and Limited-time Deal.

To find out more about Country Rates, take a look at this Solutions page.

Keep in mind that depending on the country your property is based in, this feature may not be available to you due to legal or commercial restrictions. We’re working to roll out Country Rates to all countries as soon as possible.
