Lead Time in hospitality refers to the number of days between when a reservation is made and the guest’s actual arrival date. It reflects how far in advance bookings are secured and plays a key role in forecasting, pricing, and revenue strategies.

Cómo utilizarlo

Revenue managers monitor Lead Time to: Forecast booking pace and set pricing strategies accordingly, understand consumer behavior (e.g. short-lead vs. long-lead bookers), identify booking windows for different segments (e.g. business vs. leisure) or to apply restrictions like minimum lead times for specific offers or rate types.
