Arrivals (6 pm + GTD = Arv) displays what?

• A. The number of reservations (not people) due to arrive on any given day. Some may be GTD (guaranteed) and others may be listed as 6 PM (non-guaranteed). Non-guaranteed reservations can be cancelled after 6 PM if the guest does not arrive by 6 PM.
• B. Total number of rooms currently occupied by guest
• C. The total number of rooms occupied before any departures
• D. The total number of rooms in the inventory

Answer: (A)

Arrivals shows how many reservations are due to check in on a given day, counting both guaranteed reservations and those held at 6 PM. It’s about reservations, not the number of people or rooms currently in use. The 6 PM rule means a non-guaranteed booking can be canceled if the guest doesn’t arrive by 6 PM, but it still counts toward the day’s arrivals if it’s scheduled for that date. This distinguishes it from occupancy (rooms currently occupied) or inventory (total rooms available). For example, if there are three guaranteed arrivals and two 6 PM holds, the Arrivals count for that day would be five.
