Q4: Do you have mobile applications? What does "web view" or PWA approach mean for mobile solutions? 

Panel

GPTE support mobile applications for iOS and Android using web view approach.

A Web View is essentially an embedded browser within a mobile application that allows developers to display web content directly inside the app. This component acts as a bridge between native app functionality and web-based content, enabling seamless integration of web technologies into mobile applications.

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) represent a modern approach to building web applications that provide a user experience similar to native apps. PWAs leverage standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) but include enhanced capabilities that allow them to function offline and provide app-like experiences.

While both Web Views and PWAs utilize web technologies, they serve different purposes in mobile development. Web Views are useful for embedding web content in native apps, whereas PWAs provide a standalone web experience that mimics native applications with enhanced capabilities.

Panel

The terms price lists and daily rates refer to different pricing strategies, each serving distinct purposes.

Price Lists

Price lists typically provide a comprehensive overview of all available rates for various room types and services offered by a hotel. These lists may include:

  • Standard Rates: Fixed prices that do not fluctuate based on demand or occupancy.

  • Discounted Rates: Special offers or promotional rates that might be available for certain periods or customer segments.

  • Package Deals: Rates that combine room stays with additional services, such as meals or activities.

Daily Rates

In contrast, daily rates are more dynamic and are generally set based on specific criteria such as:

  • Day of the Week: Prices can vary significantly depending on the day; for instance, weekends may have higher rates compared to weekdays due to increased demand.

  • Occupancy Levels: Daily rates may adjust based on how many rooms are booked. For example, if a hotel is nearing full capacity, prices may rise to maximize revenue.

  • Seasonal Variations: Rates can change with the seasons or during special events, reflecting fluctuations in demand.

In summary, while price lists provide a fixed overview of hotel pricing options, daily rates are flexible and can change frequently based on various factors such as occupancy and day of the week.

Q7: Is it possible to apply different prices for hotel extra services depending on tourist’s age (ex. a hotel offers a transfer according to tourist’s age)?
