| Abstract: | In this article, outlined are some of the basic complexities originating with the acquisition of hotel rooms for a reseller of bundled vacations. The focus is on the short-term aspects of room-risk management (herein as: r-r.mgmt.) for the tour operator, particularly how to manage blocks of take-or-pay contracted rooms. The r-r.mgmt. problem is formulated as a math program with the aim at minimizing wasted rooms. |
