Add Hotel

The admin can add the hotel and rooms from two options:

• Event -> Accommodation (Top navigation bar) -> + Add Accommodation -> + Add Hotel

A dialogue box will appear from which the admin can add the hotel and interestingly the room(s) and their configuration can now be directly associated with the hotel from the same dialogue box.

Accommodation Addons

The admin can now select from the default/ system accommodation addons or can create accommodation addons of their own.

The default accommodation addons can be enabled/ disabled to show in the list of accommodation addons. The admin has the option to set addons close date as the accommodation close date or they can set them with a different close date.
