Dashboard: Occupancy Pace Report
Summary
This Dashboard gives an overview of your campground's occupancy on future dates to provide insight into dates when you could aim to optimize revenues. Some of the Dashboard highlights are as follows:
- This Dashboard allows you to compare your occupancy pace vs. last year to see where your campground's trends are.
- The dark purple bar shows what you have in terms of occupancy this year for the next 30 days.
- The light purple bar shows what you had in terms of occupancy for this same day of the week last year. This also spans for the upcoming 30 days of this time last year.
- The black line shows what your final occupancy was last year once these days had passed.
- If the dark purple bar is higher than the light purple bar it means that your campground is currently pacing ahead. If the dark purple bar is higher than the black line it means you've already outpaced last year's final occupancy number as well.
