The reservation category is one of the most important parts of the distribution channel. The reservation category deals with the type of bookings e.g. Group Booking, Owner Booking, Corporate Booking, etc. The owner can get an idea about the type of bookings made under the distribution channels with the help of the reservation category and he can classify them accordingly. Reservation categories are in use to define specific Channel procedures and calculations by linking multiple reservation categories to one channel, the number of channels will remain limited.
One example of a combination of one channel with multiple reservation categories is Owners. We can have multiple booking types for one channel (Owner) such as Own use, Owner books for himself in another house, Owner books for guests in his own house, and Owner books for guests in another house.
