The unconstrained demand of a hotel is your total demand for a particular date irrespective of your capacity. As hotel revenue management consulting<\/a> company, we recommend that hotels should identify when unconstrained demand is above the capacity of the hotel. This is an important part of your hotel revenue management strategy<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
The unconstrained demand will help you calculate your Last Room Value for certain dates, and possible length of stay restrictions that may apply. Once peak periods are detected, you can start regretting low paying business. Historical data capture will help to calculate potential unconstrained demand. It is possible to develop hotel revenue management manual tools that would help to identify those periods, such as with excel.<\/span><\/div>\n

The unconstrained demand shall help you to evaluate the Last Room Value and displaced revenue.<\/span><\/div>\n
Record your denials for individuals but also for group bookings: by the length of stay, by market segments, with total value for groups. What is your group unconstrained demand? Develop your denial and regrets reasons:<\/span><\/div>\n

You may also record on your demand calendar when you main competitors are fully booked or sell high rates as this affects the demand to your hotel.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
