Understanding Weekly Rate Plans
To stand out to travellers who are looking to stay longer, you can create a new Rate Plan that offers a discount on your cheapest daily rate. Potential guests who search for stays of seven nights or longer will be able to see and book your new discounted rates.
Just like with other Rate Plans, you can customise the details of your Weekly Rate Plan, including:
- The cancellation policy
- Any meal plans that are included
- Which dates the rates are available for
- The discount amount
- The rooms or units the Rate Plan applies to
Keep in mind that the maximum length of stay travellers can book varies by region. To change the maximum length of stay that you offer, take a look at this article. There may also be laws and regulations that affect longer stays in your region, and you can find out more in this article.
