Which term represents the number of rooms scheduled to depart the hotel today?

• A. Departures (Dep)
• B. Occupied Rooms (Occ Rms)
• C. Occupancy Percent (Occ Pct.)
• D. Available Rooms (Avl Rms)

Answer: (A)

In front office operations, the metric that captures how many rooms have guests checking out today is the Departures figure. It tallies the rooms whose occupants are scheduled to depart, guiding housekeeping to prioritize rooms and helping the front desk anticipate turnover for the day. This is different from Occupied Rooms, which shows how many rooms are currently occupied; from Available Rooms, which shows rooms ready to be sold or currently not in use; and from Occupancy Percent, which expresses how full the hotel is as a percentage of total rooms. So the term that represents the number of rooms scheduled to depart today is Departures.
