Chapter 5: Packages

The Packages Module – Unlimited Options & Flexibility

All of the Contracted Services records from Vendor that represent services included in a Tour come together in Package.

As explained in Chapter 4, every Tour will have at least one, and more likely several, Packages linked to it.

The relationship between Tours and Packages is demonstrated using a cruise as an example, given you need a means to offer different cabins at different prices.

Similarly, a student tour operator might create one Package for the kids, and a slightly different Package for the chaperones; both of which might include some common elements and each of which will feature services specific to adults or students.

Separate Packages not only allow for the possibility of different price points, it also gives you the ability to very specifically account for numbers and charges on the Vendor side for one type of service or another.
