Dynamic Pricing Enhancements
Dynamic Pricing Enhancements
Fare Groups
Fare Groups allow you to organise and manage different fares more efficiently. By grouping related fares (e.g., adult, child, or discounted tickets), you can apply pricing rules or updates to the entire group at once, saving time and ensuring consistency. This feature simplifies fare management, making it easier to handle multiple fare types, especially when offering different pricing strategies or customer segments.
Fare Only Option
The Fare Only option in the availability dropdown allows you to set fares for a specific source without changing its capacity or resource assignments. If needed, you can still set fares at the regular level, which will override the 'Fare Only' settings.
Occupancy Forecast
This feature allows you to set pricing rules based on Ventrata's forecast of future occupancy, rather than relying solely on last year's data. Currently we use last-year's occupancy data, but in the future we'll improve this calculation to take into account weather, pacing and AI.

Product Options Selector Customisation
Product Options Selector Customisation
If you offer multiple product options or tour commentary languages, you now have more control over how they're displayed. You can choose to:
Show options on the ticket page or a separate page.
Pre-select the first product option.
Decide whether the option selector remains open or closes after a selection.
This is especially useful for product with lots of choices.
