Bookings & distribution
Preparation time before arrival (PTBA)
PTBA is a vendor-dependent booking setting describing a required interval before arrival. In some systems it means advance booking notice; in others preparation settings block time around stays. Check the provider's definition rather than assume it always means cleaning time.
Practical example
Illustrative example
A manager checks whether a one-day setting stops same-day reservations or blocks a night between guests.
