Since the audience on Booking.com ranges from spontaneous bookers to long-term planners, loading forward-looking availability is key to getting seen\u2014and booked\u2014by all types of travelers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, it\u2019s really that simple: Loading plenty of availability \u2014 both long-term and last-minute \u2014 means you\u2019re visible to more bookers. That way, you\u2019re much more likely to get bookings. But it\u2019s not just that. The availability you load on Booking.com gives you a chance to market your property on other channels, not to mention Booking.com\u2019s thousands of affiliate partner websites \u2014 from airlines to comparison websites. So uploading availability allows your property to be seen by an even wider, more global audience. After all, you have to be seen to be booked!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s no surprise that lots of travelers like to plan ahead. So if you load availability up to a year, or even 16 months in advance, it is highly likely that you\u2019ll pop up for these bookers. You\u2019ll appear in search results when they\u2019re excitedly looking to book their vacation for the next year. Our advice is to keep your availability loaded for the long term. For example, if you\u2019re a seasonal property, update your availability for the next year before you close up for the season. This way, you can make your property more visible on Booking.com and continue to receive forward-looking bookings. Thus, you will maintain your current performance and increase your booking revenues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use the <\/span><b>Bulk Updates Calendar<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on your HotelRunner dashboard to update your forward-looking rates and availability easily for all your room and rate types.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click the button below and <\/span><b>make sure your forward-looking rates and availability are up-to-date!<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn primary large\" href=\"https:\/\/app.hotelrunner.com\/login?return_to=\/admin\/my\/inventory\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UPDATE NOW<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need help on how to use the Bulk Updates Calendar, you can <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/support.hotelrunner.com\/en\/knowledge-base\/how-to-use-the-bulk-updates-calendar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">click here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or contact us.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no secret that having lots of availability is essential for getting more bookings.
