Abstract

The research note addresses the problem of dynamic overbooking limits in the context of guaranteed and nonguaranteed bookings. The note shows how the optimal number of overbookings will change when the hotel receives a request for a specific date given the current guaranteed/nonguaranteed reservations ratio for the same date.

Keywords: hotel, management, overbooking, yield management, revenue management
