- From the Navigation menu in the Hotel Back Office role center, click Hotel Setup to display the Navigation bar.
- From the Navigation bar, click Reservation Types.
- Click the New action, and fill in the Hotel Reservation Type Card fields.
The tables below list and describe the fields in the FastTabs in the card.

Show Activities | If activated, this check box displays the Activity FastTab on the Reservation Card. If not activated, the Activity FastTab is not displayed on the Reservation Card. |
Show Comments | If activated, the Comments FastTab is displayed on the Reservation Card. If not activated, the Comments FastTab is not displayed on the Reservation Card. |
Activity Reservation Type | For every Hotel Reservation there is an Activity Reservation. This is done for seamless integration with the Bookings module. Here you select the reservation type for that Activity Reservation. |
Activity Draft Status | Used when PMS changes activity status back to Draft. If the system cannot confirm an activity when doing a related action, for example like changing dates, this is the status the activity will get. |

Using the Bookings module for Hotels
In Hotels you can book activities directly from a reservation. The user working with the reservation must be set up as an Activity User to create activities from Hotels.

- In the Hotel Reservation Type Card, select the Show Activities check box.

Note: The Activity Reservation Type used must have the Deposit Options as On Reservation for deposits and activities that are included in the package to flow correctly between Bookings and Hotels.
