A destination is a geographical area that is associated with a product. It is mandatory to define a destination when creating a new product contract. A destination added "on the fly" when creating a product contract is automatically added to the destinations in this page.

The destination entity varies according to the type of service. The destination London is used for a hotel while the destination Europe is used for an escorted tour.

The destination is the most common search parameter that is used in the Reservation System.
