Example
Reservations booked 30, 12, 8, and 10 days before arrival → (30+12+8+10) ÷ 4 = 15 days
Formula
How this calculator works
This formula converts source operating values into booking lead time for quick review.
Lead Time = Average(Arrival Date − Booking Date)
Context
Why this metric matters
Can be measured by mean, median, or by revenue-weighted average. Segment/channel-specific lead time is often more useful than property-level average.
Hotel insight
Industry context
- Can be measured by mean, median, or by revenue-weighted average. Segment/channel-specific lead time is often more useful than property-level average.
- Small changes in denominator rules can move the result, so keep the same reporting basis when comparing periods.
