Making products available for booking before the new season begins provides several benefits:
Earlier revenue generation and improved cash flow help businesses secure bookings before the season starts.
Early demand insights enable businesses to forecast demand more accurately and plan resources more effectively.
Advance booking availability encourages customer loyalty by allowing guests to secure their preferred experiences ahead of time.
Guaranteed availability gives guests the opportunity to book their preferred dates and experiences before they become fully booked.
Greater confidence when planning trips allows guests to organize their travel arrangements well in advance.
Available options
Advance bookings for the upcoming season can be enabled using one of the following approaches:
Option 1: Update the existing schedule(s)
Use this option when the current season has ended and the same schedule will continue into the next season. Update the schedule with the new seasonal dates and any other required changes.

Option 2: Create a separate schedule for the next season
Use this option when the next season requires different operating dates, availability, pricing, or other schedule settings, or when preparing the upcoming season while the current season is still active. Creating a separate schedule allows both seasons to coexist without affecting current bookings.
