Settings can be configured for the hotel to offer an additional discount when an OTA rate is matched to entice the user to book a reservation.

Once the Company has received the header and footer files from the Customer, the Company’s engineering team will add the HTML and CSS files to the header and footer of the booking engine code and test to ensure that the files provided do not interfere with any components of the system.
