Important Notes
  1. Company Category Codes are used for the organization and reporting of company profiles
  2. These codes do not directly impact reservations like Marketing Segments
  3. Updating or removing a code may affect filtering and reporting on company data

Relationship to Marketing Segments

Company Category Codes are separate from Marketing Segments:
  1. Company Category Codes: classify company profiles
  2. Market Segment: type of business for a reservation
  3. Referral Code: how the reservation was booked
  4. Reason for Stay: why the guest is staying
NotesWhile separate, these fields can work together to provide a complete view of business performance.
