Warning: Options payable on site are not included in this revenue, whereas they are included in the Revenue report (Statistics > Billing, Reservit PMS). Reservit Activities services are only counted when both the accommodation booking and the service are confirmed.

Warning: Dashboard figures are recalculated every night: bookings made today will appear tomorrow.
