Rate versus nights booked
In South Padre Island 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 | $236 | 63% | 229 | $54,027 |
| Market pricing | $262 | 56% | 204 | $53,553 |
| Price 10% over the market | $288 | 49% | 180 | $51,803 |
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.
