    Dear development team,

    As a hotel we always explored the limits of the Mews system in order to implement new ideas but we are experiencing difficulties in terms of fully setting up our booking engine the way we would like it to be.

    One of the ideas we could not implement due to the limits of the system is a dynamic package deal.

    We would like to offer our guest the opportunity to book a room plus experience (we have a great partnership with a local brewery).

    The pricing mechanic behind this deal should not be static. Our rooms have dynamic prices and we would like to keep it that way.

    We do want to be able to offer packages to our guests.

    We believe the deal should reflect like this in the booking engine:

    Dynamic room rate + standard product A (brewery tour + tasting) = Package deal

    The guest should see the package deal and (here is the main problem) total price of the dynamic room rate for that particular day + the product linked to it.

    Now the only way to do this is by adding the products AFTER the booking is made through a product rule or by creating a static package rate and to include the products in the total price. Both ways don't work for us.

    The guest should understand what they book and not having to pay afterwards (during check-in) because the PMS cannot include products realtime on top of a rate during the booking process. Hotels shouldn't be forced to only being able to offer package rates through a static rate construction.

    If Mews would be able to pull this off I think this would be a great addition to the booking engine and to open up a new world of opportunities where hotels can play around with their guest experience and brand (identity) through partnerships etc without compromising their pricing strategy.

    I really hope you will consider developing this in the future.

    Best regards,
