Accommodation

Overview
This example will demonstrate a possible method to set-up a reservation system for a hotel/accommodation style business.
Accommodation details
This hotel runs as follows:
(We have selected a per room pricing that is more difficult to implement - per pax pricing is very straight forward)
- Single Rooms x 5 - room #'s A1 to A5 - cost $100 per room
- Double Rooms x 5 - room #'s B1 to B5 - cost $150 per room (minimum 2 pax per room - for sole occupancy book 2 pax)
- Quad Share Rooms x 5 - room #'s C1 to C5 - cost $200 per room (minimum 4 pax per room - for sole/2/3 occupancy book 4 pax)
The Set-up
There will be two layers:
1. A normal "day" tour with prices and amount of nights called HOTEL - Hotel California
2. An accommodation tour as a component of HOTEL, called ROOMS - Rooms for Hotel California

Put the fare basis and sub-basis combinations in. Put in the normal range of duration of nights that you might encounter.
Click on the Prices tab to enter the price matrices. Notice that we sell it by the room, not per pax.
Next, we build the package sets. Create new ones for each fare. Edit the All basis and subbasis package set as follows:
