Handling room categories means defining the room or cabin types on offer, assigning travelers correctly, managing the constant changes, and producing a final rooming list that matches your payments.
This guide covers the approach and how Destinito Pro keeps categories and assignments accurate to the deadline.
Why categories get messy
Travelers upgrade, downgrade, switch roommates and drop out. Each change ripples through occupancy, pricing and the rooming list. In a spreadsheet, the categories and the payments drift apart, and the final list sent to the supplier ends up wrong.
Tie categories to travelers and payments
Define your categories and occupancy up front, tie each assignment to a traveler and their balance, make changes in one place, and the final rooming list builds itself from accurate data. Destinito Pro does exactly this, so categories, payments and the supplier list stay aligned.

Quick facts about Destinito Pro
How Destinito Pro handles room categories
Destinito Pro lets agents define room or cabin categories and occupancy, tie each assignment to a traveler and balance, and make changes in one place. The final rooming list is built from data that already matches the agent's payments and the supplier's block, removing the manual reconciliation that causes errors.
How Destinito Pro helps group travel
Because room assignments link to travelers and balances, the rooming list always reflects who has actually committed and paid, which is exactly what suppliers require at the deadline.
When category management helps
It helps once a group offers multiple categories and the roster changes. Destinito Pro is most valuable when a manual room list and the payment spreadsheet would otherwise drift apart before the deadline.
