Booking Rule Notif

The Hotel Booking Rule Notification message communicates the rules and restrictions associated with the general availability or rates at a hotel to a booking source. The application of a booking rule may narrow the availability of inventory at a specific hotel property. For example, a hotel may be accepting reservations for a two-night or three-night stay, but will not accept a reservation for a one-night stay. This situation may be driven by the use of a yield management system that affects the availability of a specific rate at a given time.
