B2B rates are rates that are only available for closed sales channels for industry professionals (travel agents and tour operators). As a rule, they are lower than rates for independent travelers, as travel professionals book large volumes, and before the guest gets a voucher the offer goes through a number of intermediaries.
The different types
BAR — a commission rate with a special discount for B2B clients.
Calculation formula: the net price minus the discount (20-25%) plus the commission %.
NET — a rate without commission with the maximum possible discount.
Calculation formula: the gross price minus the discount (20-25%).
