Variables That Affect Room Rates 1. Occupancy
And Demand Room availability and customer demand
are probably the greatest contributing factors to
hotel prices. If its busy season, or there is a
conference or event happening in the city, hotels
are going to jack their prices up because they
know the demand will be high. In these peak
times, hotels also often implement certain
restrictions like minimum stays. On the flip
side, during the off-season when there are fewer
tourists and less demand for rooms, hotels will
often drop their prices or offer special deals or
packages. 2. Location Of The Hotel If the hotel
is centrally located, within walking distance of
shops, restaurants and tourist attractions,
chances are its going to be priced higher than
more remote hotels that offer guests less
convenience. 3. Type Of Room Hotels typically
offer at least three different categories of
room standard, family room and suite. The more
deluxe the amenities, the more the room will
cost. 4. Competition Hotels look to see what
the competition is doing. They want to try to
lure customers with better deals and stay
competitively priced, yet still need to make a
profit. 5. Season Youre going to pay top
dollar during peak season, simply due to the
increase in demand. On the other hand, youll
likely be able to find good deals on hotels in
the off-season, so if you're flexible with the
time of year you can travel, it can be a good
way to save some money.

Hotels Versus Air BB? Airbnbs are usually
cheaper than hotels for longer stays and large
groups, but they don't offer the same
services. Typical Airbnb advantages over hotels
include more space, better amenities, kitchens,
lower cost, a washer dryer, and much more. A
vacation rentalwhether a home, apartment, condo,
boat, yurt, shared space, or other

hotels, for flexible, adventurous travel

hotel sector in particular, encompasses multiple
business models and employs hundreds of thousands
of Canadians. A smaller, but important growing
segment in BC is that of camping and RV
accommodators. As broader societal trends

the accommodations marketplace and consumer.
Owners and operators must stay abreast of these
trends, continually altering their business
models and services to remain relevant and
competitive
