Booking Window

The booking window describes the period during which guests typically make reservations
before arrival and summarizes demand timing behavior.
Why it matters:
Understanding the booking window helps hotels time pricing changes, promotions, and
marketing spend more effectively.
Practical use:
Hotels analyze booking windows by segment (corporate, leisure, group) to tailor pricing rules.
Real-life examples:
City hotels see short booking windows for weekdays, while resorts experience long booking
windows with early-booker demand.
