Blackout Dates are specific dates or periods when a vacation rental property is not available for booking. These dates are typically set by the property owner or manager and can be due to various reasons, such as personal use, maintenance, or high demand periods where the property is reserved for direct bookings at higher rates. Blackout dates are common in the hospitality and travel industries to manage availability and optimize revenue.

Vacation rental metrics or key performance indicators are critical measurable aspects of your business that you can lean on to understand and manage your business better. From occupancy rates to referrals your vacation rental is getting, it can be helpful to track these metrics. “You can’t improve what you don’t measure!”
If you understand the business metrics, you and/or the vacation rentals’ manager will be able to analyze the return on your investment and return on revenue more accurately to improve your operations.
