10.1. CANCELLATION INITIATE REQUEST

Cancellation Initiate Request is sent before actual cancellation to check possibility of booking cancellation. This is not real cancellation yet, but just a quote.

Important note: In case of Multibooking reservation it is possible to cancel only all room reservations, not one room separately.
