Attrition Policy

📆 Revision Date: 2025-10-24

An Attrition Policy in a hotel group block agreement outlines the minimum number of rooms a group is required to fill (or "pick up") out of the total rooms contracted. It protects the hotel from revenue loss if the group fails to use all the rooms they originally committed to. Typically, the policy specifies a percentage (e.g., 80% attrition), meaning the group is financially responsible for at least 80% of the blocked rooms—even if they are not ultimately used. If actual pickup falls below this threshold, the group may owe an attrition fee based on the unoccupied rooms. This policy ensures the hotel can forecast occupancy and revenue accurately while providing flexibility to groups within agreed limits.
