Hello,
Thanks for your message. For every listing you can specify the geographical information thanks to the built-in Google Maps API.
This is something you could do through the apposite listing management interface of the wp-admin section. By entering the address and the coordinates for every listing, you will be able to access their geographical details on every plugin page.

I really mean a country ‘category’ that can also be inserted as a filter in the flat search
Unfortunately, location filters are not available, as they are usually more common on portals with a multi-vendor structure, where different owners can advertise and manage their own listings, similar to what OTAs do.
As a certified Channel Manager provider, we offer our all-in-one solution (VikBooking, Vik Channel Manager and E4jConnect, hence Booking Engine, PMS and Channel Manager) with a single-vendor structure, where multiple listings and multiple OTA accounts are fully supported for those property managers that operate in multiple locations, but there is no ownership for the various listings.
This is mainly why the booking forms do not support locations, but rather just categories as a filter. VikBooking also features an “interactive map” where listings can be positioned through map markers, but again, this is not a “country/location filter”. You should probably look for a multi-vendor plugin in that case, which will never offer built-in Channel Management functionalities due to conflicts with the OTAs themselves.
