Review Booking message: daily rates
In eras of revenue management it becomes more and more frequent that each day has its own unique rate. In order to be able to provide the hotel with data on how much revenue was made on each single day, this information needs to be as detailed as possible.
I.e. instead of having a single
<Rate RateTimeUnit="Day" EffectiveDate="2017-12-16" ExpireDate="2017-12-21" UnitMultiplier="1">
...
</Rate>
for the whole stay, we would need to specify the exact rate for every day:
<Rate RateTimeUnit="Day" EffectiveDate="2017-12-16" ExpireDate="2017-12-17" UnitMultiplier="1">
...
</Rate>
<Rate RateTimeUnit="Day" EffectiveDate="2017-12-17" ExpireDate="2017-12-19" UnitMultiplier="1">
...
</Rate>
<Rate RateTimeUnit="Day" EffectiveDate="2017-12-19" ExpireDate="2017-12-21" UnitMultiplier="1">
...
</Rate>
Only with such detailed information, the hotel is able to tell the daily lodging revenue.
