ARI

ARI has two meanings in hotel-tech. In channel-manager context, ARI = Availability, Rates, Inventory: the three feeds that hotels keep synchronized across direct and OTA channels. ARI mismatches are the underlying cause of most overbookings. In STR/STAR-Report context, ARI = Average Rate Index, a property's ADR divided by compset ADR and indexed to 100; an ARI of 105 means the property charges 5% above its compset average.
