Manage Close Outs

Enable 'Manage Close Outs' Button

The Manage Close Outs section within Manage allows you to block availability for any or all of your Accommodation products for one or multiple nights. Or to completely close or reduce capacity of Tours, Attractions and Events. You may do this by logging into frontdesk, or by accessing your Manage screen remotely over the internet.

The Manage Close Outs functionality must first be enabled within your frontdesk account by your licencee. If you would like to enquire about this functionality, please contact the Help Desk on 1300 880 683 .
