PREFERRED RATES
Please note, CCRA does not require rates to be submitted. In order to offer the most up-to-date property information, we no longer issue a static printed directory, but instead offer your hotel, rates and inventory on our live, real-time, on-line booking tool via Amadeus.


Rate definition:  Preferred rate = the same rate given to all consortiums or large travel agency groups (parity)

★ Preferred rates (minimum 10% off corporate rates) 
★ Last room availability
 ★ Commissionable at 10% (Please note all rates except net rates are commissionable at 10%)

Our RFP team has determined that it is more important that we understand and collect information related to the positioning of your Preferred (negotiated) rate than actually collecting the rate itself. We will monitor the competitiveness of the rate, availability of the rate and status of the last room availability you map to our pseudo-city code. We will monitor the Preferred rates you offer through the various GDS's using our own proprietary technology in the 2008 calendar year. Again, we are reaffirming that we will not collect any rates for 2008, as we have another process in place to vet them.
BAR RATES

★ BAR rates must be the best available rate at the time of booking

★ BAR rate is unrestricted

★ BAR rate must be loaded under the CCRA rate code

★ Last Room Availability
