How to stop accessing a DMC’s products?
While Tour Operators (TOs) cannot manually disconnect from a DMC, they can stop accessing DMC products by disabling the destination associated with those products in their organization settings.
✅ Limit access to specific countries or markets
✅ Declutter your catalog by removing unused destinations
✅ Stay focused on active markets and operational scope
🚀 Objective: Learn how to disable access to DMCs' products by managing destination settings in KOOB.
📌 Why would you stop accessing a DMC’s products?
- You no longer sell a specific destination
- You want to narrow your focus to key markets only
- You no longer wish to receive rates, availability, or updates for a region
📌 Important: This action does not delete the DMC connection, but their products will no longer appear in your catalog.
