How to block events and stop receiving bookings

You might not want to receive bookings for certain events at some point. Either because:

❌ You don't want to receive any bookings for a specific date (for example, because you’ll be traveling).
✅ You already have enough bookings for an event and don’t want to accept more.

Info
What you need to do is block the event from your calendar.

How to block events from your calendar

  1. Go to your calendar

  2. Click on the event you want to block

  3. ​Click "Lock"

Warning
Blocking the event will stop new bookings from coming in. However, if there are already pending bookings, they won’t be canceled automatically. If you can’t run the tour and don’t have any alternatives (like rescheduling with the travelers), you’ll need to cancel the event properly from your calendar. Just notifying the travelers is not enough.

What happens when you block?

No more bookings can be made beyond the ones you already have. If one of the bookings is cancelled, that spot will become available for a new booking.

Idea
Blocking won't affect your profile or metrics

What happens if you don’t block it?

If you don’t block it in time, you might receive unwanted bookings and end up having to cancel them — which hurts your reputation and impacts the traveler's experience.

Travelers search for tours by date. If an event appears as available, they expect to be able to book and attend it.
