Rate versus nights booked
In Bryson City the two levers move against each other. Modelled outcomes at three pricing positions:
| Pricing position | Nightly rate | Occupancy | Nights | Gross revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price 10% under the market | $196 | 64% | 233 | $45,671 |
| Market pricing | $218 | 57% | 208 | $45,355 |
| Price 10% over the market | $240 | 50% | 183 | $43,940 |
The trade-off uses a modelled price elasticity: a 10% price move shifts occupancy by roughly 12% in the opposite direction. Real elasticity varies by property and by season — treat this as a way to frame the decision, not a forecast.
