CTA

Closed to Arrival. Revenue-management restriction blocking new arrivals on a specific date.

CTA (Closed to Arrival) is a revenue-management restriction that prevents new bookings from starting their stay on a specific date. It is commonly used before a high-demand night to protect inventory for guests who are willing to book a longer stay. Bookings that span the CTA date but arrive earlier or later remain valid.
