What is Transfer?
The transportation of a passenger between two points, such as from the airport to a hotel or vice versa, is often included as an element of a tour. 2. A chit or similar device allowing a passenger to transfer from one vehicle or form of transport to another without paying an additional fare.
Let’s learn how to load rates for Transfer.
Steps on how to load rates for Transfer:
- Under configuration, we have already created the transfer types.
- Select the transfer in which you want to upload rates.
- Select the validity of the transfer
- We can assign, multiple date bands in transfer according to the rates.
- Update direction of the transfer i.e. is transfer available for return only or for ‘One way
- Load the rates for Adults, children, teens or infant
- If in the contract rates are not specified on the basis of Adult, Child, teen or infant then the given rate will apply to all pax.
What is a Supplement?
Extra charges are paid on top of the given contracted rates. The supplements especially include Gala Dinners.
Steps:
- Select the already created Supplement in which you want to upload rates.
- Select the validity of the Supplement
- We can only put a single date band at a time, if we have to load 2-3 date bands we have to add more periods.
What is a Meal Plan?
The meal plan is the package that includes rates for meals such as Lunch, Dinner, Half Board and Full board, or All-inclusive.
Steps:
- Select the already created Meal Plan in which you want to upload rates.

- We can assign, multiple date bands in Meal Plan according to the rates.
What are Taxes?
A tax is a compulsory financial charge or some other type of levy imposed by a governmental organization in order to fund government spending and various public expenditures. (Wikipedia).
So, while a person travels to any place, he/she is supposed to pay some mandatory tax. As discussed in the rate loading session for Maldive we have 3 types of taxes: Service Charge, TGST, and Green Tax; and for Seychelles, we have to pay taxes on Service charges and Value added tax.
On the HBT system, we have a tab where we assign included taxes to our contracted rates.
Steps How to load Taxes on HBT?
- Choose tax from the drop-down arrow.
- Green Tax
- Service Tax
- Tourism Goods and Service Tax
- Value Added Tax
- If Tourism Goods and Service Tax is included in the contract then put a tick on ‘Inclusive of all taxes’ otherwise tick on ‘Apply on taxes’.
- Same as in Service Charge if tax is included in the contract then put only % amount of tax, if not included in contract put tick on Apply on to Accommodations, Transfers, Meal Plans or Supplements.
- Tick only on those boxes in which taxes are included or not.
