Event Turn Away Reason Code
📆 Revision Date:
Turn Away Reason Overview
A Turn Away Reason on a cancelled Event Record represents the specific reason why a potential booking or event did not materialize into a confirmed reservation. It helps the property or sales team understand why business was lost and supports tracking demand trends and revenue opportunities. For example, an event might be turned away because of no space availability, budget constraints, client cancellation, or date conflicts. Capturing a Turn Away Reason allows management to analyze lost business patterns, evaluate pricing and capacity strategies, and improve future conversion rates by identifying the most common causes for declined or cancelled events.
