Overbooking

It's not just for trains and planes

Hotels oversell too

Like airlines, hotels factor in noshows according to historical data, sometimes they are too pessimistic

Hotels oversell too

Hotels sales team might want to accomodate large parties (eg: conferences or events) at cost of relocating some guests.

Hotels do oversell

Hotels are selling through dozens of channels, closing availability might leave some bookable even when using channel managers

(and technical issues always occur while approaching full occupancy)

Hotels must push RevPAR and occupancy, but also...

You can't always plan rooms' maintenance and you might have to put a room out of order.

Today. For tonite.
