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 guests)
• on an average, during the weekdays this is just one guest: so 1.0

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.

Guest nights

Weekends
The last numbers of the hotel show 50% occupancy rate in the weekends. Maximum is 52 weeks x 100 rooms x 7 days x 43% weekends = 15,652 'room nights' (out of the total of 36.400). So at 50% booked room nights are 7.826.
This will bring the number of guest nights at this moment at 7,826 x 1,7 = 13,304. So on an average in the last recorded year 13,304 guest nights have been recorded.

Weekdays
The last numbers of the hotel show 50% occupancy rate during weekdays. Maximum is 52 weeks x 100 rooms x 7 days x 57% weekdays = 20,748 nights (out of the total maximum of 36.400). So at 50% booked room nights are 10.374
This will bring the number of guest nights at this moment at 10,374 x 1,0 = 10,374. So on an average in the last recorded year 10,374 guest nights have been recorded.

Total guest nights

• weekends days 13,304 guest nights: 56% of all guest nights
• weekdays 10,374 guest nights: 44% of all guest nights
• Total 23,678 guest nights: 100%

Most guest nights are by leisure guests.

Importance

Guest nights are of importance because of:

• food and beverages (breakfast and general food and beverages)
• staff to be employed (cleaning etc.)
• things like tourist tax (not applicable yet in the city where Emerald Forest Hotel is located).
