With just a few clicks, you can also bring the prices for packages and arrangements into the pre-Christmas spirit. We take advantage of a practical fact: many packages don&#8217;t calculate their price themselves, but rather base it on a rate type \u2013 usually their base rate. <strong>That&#8217;s exactly where RateTuner comes in.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='gb-block'><div class='block-paragraph'>\n<p>If you adjust the base rate in <strong>RateTuner <\/strong>for specific days, all associated arrangements will automatically use the new value. This applies to the exact period you define. For December, this means in practice: you can enter a <strong>fixed surcharge<\/strong>, a <strong>percentage surcharge<\/strong> \u2013 or even a <strong>clearly defined fixed price<\/strong> if you want to set the price level for specific days independently of the payment plan.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='gb-block'><div class='block-paragraph'>\n<p>In HotelControl, this process always follows the same pattern: You select a date or period, define the rate types for which the rule should apply, and define the desired pricing logic. Once you save, the system automatically calculates the rates for the packages associated with these rate types \u2013 without any manual adjustments, without opening each package individually, and without duplication of effort. After the end date, the logic automatically reverts to the original price.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='gb-block'><div class='block-paragraph'>\n<p><strong>This is a significant relief<\/strong>, <strong>especially for hotels that offer many seasonal packages<\/strong> \u2013 from wellness weekends to New Year&#8217;s Eve getaways. A single step in RateTuner is all it takes, and the entire holiday program reacts smoothly and consistently. If you&#8217;re not yet using RateTuner, it&#8217;s worth taking a look at the settings: The paid module can be activated at any time and proves its worth particularly during the weeks when hotels have the least time to adjust prices manually.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='gb-block'>\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><div class='gb-block'><div class='block-paragraph'>\n<p>If you have any questions or would like to activate the module, you can reach our sales team at <a href=\"mailto:sales@hotelnetsolutions.de\"><strong>sales@hotelnetsolutions.de<\/strong><\/a> or by phone at<strong> T +49 (0) 30 770193 000.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='gb-block'>\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><div class='gb-block'><div class='block-paragraph'>\n<p>Now Christmas can come.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class='gb-block'>\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year it&#8217;s the same.
