Frequently Asked Questions
What is hotel attrition?
Attrition refers to the difference between the number of rooms a group contracted to book and the number they actually booked, which can trigger a penalty fee defined in the contract.
How is the attrition threshold determined?
It's negotiated in the hotel contract, often set between 75-90% of the contracted block, meaning the group must fill at least that percentage before penalties apply.
Can attrition fees be negotiated or waived?
Yes, many hotels will negotiate attrition clauses, offer grace percentages, or waive fees if rooms are resold to other guests during the contracted dates.
