[Overview]
The Pricing Tiers feature allows you to register different rates as “tiers” to respond to seasonal demand fluctuations.
It is especially suitable for properties with clearly defined seasons throughout the year (e.g., hot spring resorts, vacation destinations, tourist areas), or those with a large number of properties, room types, or pricing plans.
By setting up pricing tiers in advance, you can flexibly and strategically adjust rates simply by assigning tiers according to days of the week, events, or peak and off-peak seasons.
To use this feature, a subscription to AirHost ONE HMS (Pro Plan or Premium Plan) is required.
