Discount conditions and calculation basis group, set the terms and conditions upon which the discount is applied. You can select the following types:
Free nights (days): every night with a certain index number is offered at a lower price. For instance, if you set a 100% discount for every 7th night, then a tourist that books a room for the 7 days, only pays for 6 nights.
Discount for following nights (days): a discount for accommodation is applied after tourists stays for several nights at the hotel. For instance, a 10% discount is provided for every night after the 9th night.
Discount for the cheapest nights in the range (for hotels only): the discount on the room rate is calculated from the cost of the cheapest night in the period. For example, if a tourist books a room for 3 nights, and the first night costs 50 EUR, the second - 40 EUR, and the third - 30 EUR, then the price of the third night (30 EUR) is used for the calculation of the discount.
The discount can be applied either once or for an unlimited number of times as a tourist complies with the requirements of the hotel staying.

We should calculate the room price for the tourists and the amount to be paid to the supplier.
Room price for a tourist (amount that a tourist pays to a tour operator): | 1 000 EUR – 10% = 900 EUR |
Amount to be paid to a supplier: | 900 EUR – 20% = 720 EUR |
The tour operator’s revenue: | 900 EUR – 720 EUR = 180 EUR |
Calculating tour operator’s discount
Assume that the supplier offers a double room at 1 000 EUR with no discounts, but the tour operator provides a tourist with a 25% discount at his own expense. The tour operator’s commission here is 20%.
We need to estimate the room price for a tourist and the amount due to be paid to the supplier.
Room price for the tourist (amount that the tourist pays to the tour operator): | 1 000 EUR – 25% = 750 EUR |
The amount due to be paid to the supplier: | 1 000 EUR – 20% = 800 EUR |
Expenses of the tour operator: | 750 EUR – 800 EUR = – 50 EUR |
As we see, such a great discount costs only 50 EUR to the tour operator.
...
Supplier’s price for a double room: 1 000 EUR
Supplier’s discount for a double room: 10%
Commission to the tour operator: 20%
Tour operator’s discount for a double room: 25%
Discount calculation:
Room price for the tourist (amount that the tourist pays to the tour operator): | 1 000 EUR – 10% – 25% = 675 EUR |
Amount due to the supplier: | 1 000 EUR – 10% – 20% = 720 EUR |
Expenses of the tour operator: | 675 EUR – 720 EUR = – 45 EUR |
