Groups and Events

Working with Groups

After you create a group in the
choiceADVANTAGE system it will auto-

matically import into SmartRates once it
falls within the 90 day window.

Groups are tracked in SmartRates to help
ensure your demand and revenue are
accurately forecasted.

To help improve your forecasts based on group in-

formation, be sure to enter the Expected Pickup into
SmartRates as soon as possible. If you don’t enter
an Expected Pickup, SmartRates will assume all the
rooms are going to be picked up, which you, as a
hotel operator, know isn’t always the case.

Understanding Events

There are three types of events in SmartRates.

Entering events into SmartRates will help create

more accurate recommendations for your hotel.

The type of event will help SmartRates to prop-
erly forecast rates and occupancy.
