If I have understood this right, I can go ahead and make bookings for the next 12 months using the non cancellable rate, and will be able to cancel for any reason.
That's how it reads for me. I'd imagine the hospitality and travel companies are strapped for cash right now and will take any opportunity to juice their working capital in the short-term (e.g. through advance-purchase rates), even if they have to give it back later.
