Occupancy Optimization Strategy
Managing 100 guests across 38 to 40 rooms requires smart room distribution:
- Double Occupancy (2 guests per room): Allocate 25 rooms for elderly relatives, parents, and married couples (50 guests).
- Triple Occupancy (3 guests per room): Allocate 15 spacious rooms or cottages equipped with extra rollaway bedding for cousins, youth, and bachelor friends (45 to 50 guests).
- This blended allocation keeps total room nights to 76–80, saving over ₹2.5 Lakhs compared to booking 50 individual rooms.
