Guests at Christmas

[Estrella Carolina Mckinney]

What strategies do you implement to attract guests during the holiday season and maximize occupancy?

During the holiday season, demand for lodging peaks. To maximize our bookings during this season, we focus on delivering holiday experiences that delight our guests. From themed decorations to special packages and exclusive events, our goal is to create a memorable stay during the holidays. In addition, we strategically adjust our rates and promotions to make our property even more attractive.

Any recommendations for increasing bookings during the holiday season? I read you

I'm going to bake cookies, set up a Christmas tree, make gift wrap, scissors and ribbon available next to it. Maybe I'll put up some lights in the courtyard, but I don't want to get too deep into decorating, as some guests don't like that very much, so I'll keep it just enough to set the mood for celebration in an elegant way. And I'll update the photos of the property in my listing, of course.

I definitely think adding a holiday touch is great.  Unfortunately with 85 units its impossible for us as a management company to offer.

Definitely will want to get them cleared out early January, I stayed at a property in Gatlinburg last year that still had a Christmas Tree up in mid February!

We pretty much do the same thing we do at Thanksgiving.

We put up a tree and decorate the main group rooms. People coming to our lake house for Christmas I think like to have a fully decorated home.

I do leave out wrapping paper and tape like @Calvin Baughman does.

Great, thank you!

Yes it is very true, and leaving the decoration after the dates is not very beneficial.

Very good, thank you!
