About the automatic closure yield rule

Set up an automatic closure yield rule to stop selling certain room types or room rates when availability reaches a certain limit. The automatic closure yield rule can be useful when demand is high and availability is low, and you want to close out low-profit-margin room rates.

➕ For example:

  • If you have a double room type with availability of 15, and are offering a low-profit-margin room rate such as a "Double room, super midweek special".

  • You could create an Automatic closure yield rule with an availability limit of 5 for this discounted room rate, for all channels.

  • When 5 of these room rates are booked, an automatic stop sell will be applied to this room rate.

The Automatic closure rule will apply to the availability of a specific room type or room rate, not the total availability of all room types at your property.
