1.4.1. Reservation ORIGIN Basic Table

Among the mandatory fields required by a reservation, we will always find origin, market and origin channel. Such information is fundamental for Management and for analysis of the demand trend past and future, thus, the items to be associated with each table must be specified with the utmost coherence and attention for the company’s survey purposes.
We remind that in multi-property environments the tables here illustrated are shared by all the hotels of the group, in order to guarantee a centralised system for the study and the gathering of data.

In the specific case of origin, this is usually understood as the physical source from where the reservation comes (e.g. Web, On Line booking, Direct Mail, GDS), but it can also be adapted for other purposes.
