Marketplace Updates

The user interface has been updated with direct links to country search results, and the search function has been expanded to allow search by country, destination or property name. Search results themselves now feature real time availability and pricing, and can be sorted by star rating, low-to-high price or A-Z property name.

Rooms can also now be selected via meal type, and the user interface for property detail pages has been updated. The booking flow has also been improved to allow instant booking with the live rates, and booking by availability based on check-in/out date or room type. Prices are also modified based on check-in/out and duration of stay.
