| Abstract: | Based on the interactions with managers at two large hotels, the authors present a realistic model of the hotel reservation problem. Unlike traditional models, the one given by the authors does not assume that all customers arrive simultaneously on the targeted booking date. The authors explain why this assumption may not be appropriate for the hotel industry and develop a model of reservation booking which explicitly includes the room allocation decisions which are made on the targeted booking date. |
