Holiday Settings Feature Guide

The Holiday Settings feature displays national holidays, source market holidays, custom holidays, and events in the PMS calendar.

This helps businesses identify special dates in advance and check pricing, inventory, channel sales, and staffing arrangements based on actual operations.

This feature is only used for calendar labels and reminders. It does not automatically change prices, room availability, stay restrictions, channel settings, orders, room status, or housekeeping tasks.

Popularity levels are currently only used to control how labels are displayed.

You can change the popularity level directly in the list.

For multi-day holidays or events added by the business, you can set different popularity levels for different dates as needed.

Note: The popularity level does not automatically affect pricing, inventory, or channel settings.

4. Show or Hide Holidays

Use the Display toggle in the list to control whether a holiday or event appears in the calendar.

After the toggle is turned off, the record remains in the list, but it will not appear in the preview calendar or other PMS calendar pages.

6. Set Calendar Label Display Rules

Navigate to the Settings tab to set where holiday labels are displayed.

Display Calendar Labels

Toggle this on to display holiday and event labels in PMS calendars.

Saved settings and records will not be deleted.

After a type is turned off, records of that type will not be displayed in the calendar.

Set Source Market

You can add one main source country or region.

After it is set, the system displays holidays from that source market in the calendar, helping you identify potential demand peaks.

Only one source market can be added.

If no source market is set, source market holidays will not be displayed.

Select Display Pages

You can set which PMS pages display holiday labels, such as:

On the list page, use the date filter to select the month range you want to view.

This is useful for:

• Checking future peak seasons and event dates
• Quickly finding records that need changes to popularity level or display status

After filtering, the list only shows holidays and events that match the selected conditions.

8. Preview Calendar

A holiday preview calendar is available below the list.

The preview calendar displays the following based on the current settings:

• National holidays
• Source market holidays

You can switch months to confirm how holidays and events will appear in the calendar in advance.

If multiple holidays or events exist on the same day, the calendar may display multiple labels at the same time.

You can use the labels to decide whether you need to manually:

• Adjust prices

Note: Holiday labels are reminders only and do not automatically perform the actions above.
