Booking Curve

Definición

A Booking Curve is a graphical representation that shows the cumulative number of bookings made for a specific arrival date, plotted against the number of days before arrival (DBA). This tool is crucial for revenue management as it provides insights into the booking pace, helping hoteliers predict future occupancy and make adjustments to pricing strategies.

Cómo utilizarlo

In revenue management, the Booking Curve is used to visualize how bookings are progressing over time. By understanding the curve, hoteliers can anticipate the demand for rooms, identify any potential gaps in bookings, and adjust pricing strategies accordingly. A steeper curve may indicate high demand, while a flatter curve could signal the need for price adjustments to drive bookings.

Fórmula

A Booking Curve is created by plotting the total number of cumulative bookings for each day leading up to the arrival date. Key factors include: Daily booking pace, historical booking trends, market demand and price adjustments based on booking pace.
