Adding a Hotel Property Contract Follow

You can use the Hotel Contracts section to identify a hotel property as a preferred/contract property for a company. These properties are identified as contract or preferred hotels when the company's travelers show for hotels.

This article shows you, a TMC Administrator, how to setup a hotel property contract.

When working from a Travel Management Company on behalf of a company using Certify Travel, be sure to first select a SYSOPADMIN in the company you are going to Edit. This ensures you are editing and testing policy of the selected company.

Step 1: From your Certify Travel homepage, select the Admin menu. Then, select Contracts followed by Hotel Contracts.

  • Contract name: The name of the contract.
  • Hotel name: The name of the property.
  • Hotel chain: The hotel chain the property is associated with.
  • Phone: The phone number for the hotel property.
    • Note: If the phone number is not available, use 111-111-1111
  • Property Code: This is the property code from the GDS.
  • GDS: Select the GDS of the company's TMC.
  • Airport or city codes: List the airport and/or city codes nearby the hotel. Multiple codes should be separated by a comma; DFW, DAL.
    • Note: When the user makes a hotel request, the hotel property will be included in the shopping results when the location of the shopping request matches one of the airport or city codes listed.
  • Display Criteria: Select how the property should be shown to the user.
    • Best practices:
      • If the company does not have a negotiated rate at the hotel but wants their travelers to book at the hotel, select the option "Display as company preferred at top of availability".
      • If the company has a negotiated rate at the hotel, select the option "Display as company contract at top of availability".
  • Contract priority: The priority of the contract (0-999).
    • Best practice is to always add a Contract Priority (0) and Rate Code (BEST).

Step 4: Click Save to save your changes.

Adding a Hotel Contract to the Policy Tree

For the new Hotel Contract to be enabled, it must be attached to a branch of the Policy Tree and Compiled.

Hotel contract rule items are inclusive. The rule items can be added multiple times to the same Policy Tree Branch without conflict, and a Policy Tree Branch can support multiple hotel contracts.

A Hotel Contract attached to a Policy Tree Branch with the Include Hotel Contract rule cannot be deleted. To delete an attached contract, first detach it from the Policy Tree Branch.

Step 1: On the Certify Travel homepage, select the Admin menu. Then, select Policy Tree followed by Policy Tree Editor.
