First Child Free 2nd Child 50 Percent

Some hotels will only charge a supplement for the second child sharing a room with adults; the hotel offers the first child free of charge.

This procedure will help you to...

  • Setup a workaround so a user can apply the supplement to the second child
  • Apply the second child supplement in an FIT booking

Overview

NOTE: Only one child price and one infant price can be stored in a Tourplan product.

  • In FITs a person is treated as an adult, child or infant based on the age policy.
  • In GROUPS a person is a child or an infant if the child and/or infant field has been completed. Ages from the Product Policies do not apply in GROUPS.

Scenario

A hotel offers first child free and charges a supplement of 50% of the adult price for the second child. The price per adult in a double is 150 with a single supplement of 100.

Suggested Product Setup

  1. Enter the standard rate for the room. (For further instruction on entering rates, see the Add a Rate section).

    This example shows a Run of House Room per person sell price of 180.00 with a markup of 20%

  2. Return to the Product Tab screen to enter Extra Details.
  3. Enable one of the 5 extras as a place holder for the second child supplement.

    NOTE: It is important to set the Charging Per to Group and indicate in the extra text that the extra has to be multiplied by the number of nights in the booking.

  4. In the Rates tab leave the child rate zero and enter 50% of the adult price against the chosen extra.

FIT Operation

In this example we will make an FIT booking for a Double room with 2 children.

Booking the service using 2nd Child Supplement

  1. Book the service for the number of nights required, at the same time apply the extra '2nd CHC SUPP * NTS' for the same number of nights.
    Our example we have booked the service for three nights, and we have booked the extra for 3 nights also.

  2. Once the service is saved, check the Service Details Costs tab where you will see that the Double room has 2 children with a rate of zero:

  3. The extra 2ND CHD SUPP * NTS now holds the price for the 2nd child.
