Attrition Rates Demystified: How They’re Calculated and What They Mean
Your contract may say “80% attrition,” but what does that really mean?
It means you’re responsible for using—or paying for—at least 80% of the total contracted room block. If you don’t, the hotel will bill you for the shortfall.
A simple example:
- Contracted Rooms: 200
- Attrition Rate: 80%
- Minimum Pickup Required: 160 rooms
If you only fill 120 rooms, you may owe for 40 unused rooms.
We help you:
- Right-size the block based on real attendance
- Reduce the attrition rate before signing
- Negotiate flexibility into the rebook clause
