RevPAR Calculation1. Room Revenue / Rooms Available or2. Average Rate X Occupancy
Example: A 400-room hotel in the month of May isrunning 72% at an average rate of $122.59.400 rooms x 31 days = 12,400 room nightsavailable. 72% are occupied = 8,9288,928 x $122.59 = $1,094,483.52
$1,094,483.52 / 12,400 = $88.27 RevPAR

Hot/Warm/ColdSome hotels will assign a value to each day
Hot dates – 90% or greater occupancy
Warm dates – 70 – 89%Cold dates – less than 70%
RevPAR can generally be improved byincreasing occupancy on cold days and ADR onHot days. Discounted rate categories areclosed as demand increases.

Negotiation Tactic
"If I were a planner, I might ask thequestion, 'So how does my meeting fitinto the revenue management strategyfor your property on those dates?„ If thereaction is a 'deer-in-the-headlights' one,the planner will know the salespeople areprobably compensated on the traditionalmodel."

RFP Overload – Case StudyQuestion - I work in convention sales in a hotel & manymeeting planners are trending towards online RFP's andresponse forms. Most often, we receive these type ofleads from a 3rd party who conceals the identity of theend user, provides limited information on the client &their true reasons for buying, & never lists who we arecompeting against. These RFP's can be distributed toover 50 hotels across the country & the information wesubmit is presented to the client in the form of a grid withdates, rates & meeting space availability. Has my abilityto sell been taken away? It seems almost impossible tobuild a relationship under these circumstances. I knowthis is a whine, but, it is very frustrating becauseresponding to leads this way cuts into the time I canreally sell.

RFP Overload – ResponseSubmit a proposal that shows you ll rent out rooms for $1 anight, plus extras. And they have to call you to find out whatthe extras are. This will get you a direct response from thecustomer. Third-party bidding will never build a salesrelationship until you re either lucky or unlucky enough to winthe bid and meet the customer. I would call the third party &tell them that it s impossible for you to submit a valid bid untilyou know the expected outcome of the meeting. I would alsoinclude in the bid as many customized features as you can thatallows the customer to choose what they want with respect tomeals & other amenities for their event. But in the end, you recorrect. It s a no -win situation, and you have to decide whetheryou want to play in that environment or not.
