About the availability limit yield rule
An availability limit yield rule allows you to limit the availability of certain room types on selected channels at any given time. The availability limit can be set as an amount or percentage.
Availability limits for certain channels can help to:
Restrict the number of packages or deals available on specific channels at any given time.
Reduce the risk of overselling rates with the lowest return.
Reducing the risk of overbookings and bulk accommodation purchases.
Once rooms are booked on the channel, availability on the channel will be topped up to the limit, as long as there is still availability from your total availability.
➕ For example:
If you have a “Double room” with an availability of 10.
You could create an Availability limit yield rule with an availability limit of 2, and apply it to the “Double room”, for a certain booking channel. This means that only 2 room types will be sent and bookable on that certain channel at any given time.
