Customers per room
Almost all calculations are made base on the occupancy rate: this is the number of the rooms occupied in a certain period. In any room there are two beds, so the number of guests or customers is more than the number of occupied rooms.
- on an average, there are 1.7 guests staying in a room during the weekends (mostly leisure guest)
- on an average, during the weekdays this is just one guest.
So 25 rooms occupied during the weekends in a year means 25 x 3/7 x 365 = 3,910 rooms occupied in a year. Per room 1.7 guest so 6,648 guest nights. For the weekdays the number of guest in a room is 1.0. So at an occupancy rate of 60% there is 60% x 4/7 x 365 x 100 = 12,514 rooms occupied, each with just one person. Which also means 12,514 guests and guest nights. Of course, one guest can also stay longer than one night, a bit more on this in the file bookings.
Importance
Guest nights are of importance because of
- food and beverages (breakfast and general food and beverages)
- staff to be employed
- things like tourist tax.
