Méthode historique Prévision

Définition

The Historic Method Forecast is a basic forecasting technique that uses historical room night (RN) data from previous years to estimate future demand. It provides a straightforward average of past performance, helping hoteliers establish a baseline forecast when other detailed data may not be available.

Formule

FC (Historic) = (RN₍Y₋₁₎ + RN₍Y₋₂₎ + RN₍Y₋₃₎) / n. Example: If you had 100 Room Nights in 2022, 120 Room Nights in 2023, and 110 Room Nights in 2024: FC (2025) = (100 + 120 + 110) / 3 = 110 RN
