The latest competition at [https://www.buas.nl/en/programmes/hotel-management BUAS, Breda University of Hospitality and Facility Management] has concluded. A big shout-out to all the participating teams and coaches—it has been a pleasure working with you. Congratulations to Management Teams, on winning the 'Golden Bell' award as the finale of the Emerald Forest Hotel simulation.
Customer Acquisition Cost, abbreviated as CAC, is the cost of winning a customer to book a hotel room. With CAC, any company can gauge how much they’re spending on acquiring a (new) customer. Elements like loyalty and life-time-value play an important role. If the CAC is profitable to the hotel at all, has to do with the [[RevPOR]].

* When using other ways of [[distribution]].

Thanks to all the Management Teams, the coaches and the jury Michel Brokke, Geertje Klijn, Joost van der Minne and Jeroen Vinkesteijn. It has been very interesting!
Often CAC is directly related to the fee /commission paid to the intermediary, the channel used. An [https://www.duettocloud.com/library/2019-the-year-hotels-get-a-grip-on-acquisition-costs indication of the costs] would be anywhere between 2% and 15% of the sales, depending on many different things like:
