Amenities need to be defined in two stages in Code Setup before they can be attached to suppliers or products.

1. The first stage is to define the Amenity Category.
2. The second to define the Amenity and attach it to the category.

Amenities can be refined and attached on a per product basis, which means that if a supplier provides more than one service (i.e., a hotel that has different facilities for different standards of room), then amenities which are common to all room types can be attached at supplier level, and amenities specific to a room type can be added at the Product level.

The Category is a code to group Amenities together. Some examples could be:

• Hotel Facilities
• Room Facilities
• Health & Recreation etc.

NOTE: New installs of Tourplan NX include some pre-defined categories and amenities. The steps below are required if the list of categories already defined need to be edited or added to.
