What is the cut-off time and why it can benefit your business?
To understand better the ‘cut-off’ time meaning let’s break it down.
A reservation has a booking window allowing travelers to book their activity and a time limit upon a reservation is made and it becomes unbookable, prior to traveler’s actual arrival (for the activity performance), this is called cut-off.
How cut-off time can benefit your business?
By reducing your cut-off time, you provide your potential customer – traveler the convenience and the option of selecting your activity when it works simply better for them. During these very special travel times, our suppliers have seen a growth in their reservation volume coming from the last-minute bookings. Travelers select to book their activity once already in the destination. And that makes absolute sense. By adjusting your booking cut-off time, you immediately leverage for your business, on the last-minute reservations.
Can cut-off time be applied immediately on all channels?
Having a booking system like Travelotopos empowers you to manage all channels at once. Applying changes like cut-off time to all or on selected channels via a single button press. Having live availabilities on multi-channels can only benefit your business especially when you treat it wisely; it will help you minimize your risk of the overbooking while also grow your last-minute reservation revenues.
