The hospitality industry is a complex ecosystem where managing occupancy rates is constantly challenging. Overbookings and cancellations are two significant hurdles that hotels face in their quest to maintain optimal occupancy levels. RateTiger offers robust solutions to address these challenges, providing a strategic approach to maximize room bookings while minimizing potential revenue loss.
Understanding Overbookings and Cancellations
Overbookings occur when a hotel accepts more reservations than the actual number of available rooms. This strategy is often used to offset the anticipated no-shows or last-minute cancellations. However, excessive overbooking can lead to guest dissatisfaction and operational complications.
Cancellations represent a different challenge. They impact revenue forecasts and directly affect occupancy rates. Effective management of cancellations is crucial to prevent revenue loss and ensure a balanced occupancy level.
