Walk-In

Gast, der ohne vorherige Reservierung an der Property ankommt.

Detaillierte Definition auf Englisch. Hospitality-Fachbegriffe (PMS, OTA, RevPAR, ADR) werden auch im deutschsprachigen Hotelbetrieb meist in der englischen Form verwendet.

A walk-in is a guest who arrives at the property without a prior reservation, typically asking for same-day accommodation. Walk-ins are a high-margin channel because they bypass OTA commission entirely, but they require the property to have inventory available, which means leaving some inventory closed on OTAs as a deliberate strategy. The economics flip during low-demand periods when walk-ins compete with OTA-shifted inventory.
