    What is a Guest Manifest?

    Every activity that is booked has a Guest Manifest. A Guest Manifest shows a list of all customers who are booked for the activity. The manifest also contains any information you have requested from your guests and useful information such as names, the seats/places a guest will occupy, contact numbers, etc.
