Viewership rules are used to configure distribution channels so that customers or travel industry agents connected to the system target the appropriate rate plans and room types.
When Viewership rules associate a rate plan to distribution channels, the rate plan is publicly viewable and offers bookable room rates. This is one of the conditions needed for a rate plan to become saleable. The Viewership rules are then visible in the Business Rules tab of the related rate plans.
Viewership rules are designed so that distribution channels are set to distribute only certain rate plans or room types in a geographical zone or to certain customers identified by their corporate discount numbers, IATA numbers, office IDs or Pseudo City Codes (PCCs).
Note: Viewership rules can only be used at the property level.
