Country | Version 8
The Country Code Table, like the names suggests, provides a placeholder for you so save different countries in your system. The country may then be allocated to different bookings. This is useful for a number of reasons including:
- A reservation nationality
Allocating a nationality to reservations enables you to track great statistics like which countries generate most of your bed nights. - Guest nationalities
Knowing your guest’s nationality can help your operations team fine tune the guest experience at the lodge, e.g. allocate a German speaking guide to German guests during their stay. - Marketing
Of course there’s also the benefit of your marketing team being able to target your guest based on their nationality, e.g. send a November emailer to your European guests highlighting: “Your winter holiday can be a tropical oasis!”. - A contact’s address details
Defining an agent’s country address will help you to report on and group bed nights by country, making planning things like your marketing team’s agent visits a total breeze!
