Events create sudden demand spikes that dwarf seasonal patterns. A city at 65% occupancy can hit 95% during a festival — rates jump 50–200%.
Unlike seasons (predictable) or day-of-week (regular), events are irregular and often short-notice. That makes them both the biggest opportunity and the hardest to catch manually.
Multi-day events have the largest impact — guests need accommodation for the full duration.
Attendees book early and companies pay, making them less price-sensitive.
Intense, time-specific demand near stadiums.
Predictable but market-dependent. Beach towns spike; business districts may drop.
By the time you notice demand spiking, you may have already accepted bookings at your normal rate. A guest who booked at $150 for a night now worth $280 = $130 lost.
