Changeover day

Changeover day · definition
  • A changeover day is a fixed weekday when stays must start and end — the traditional Saturday-to-Saturday pattern of resort markets.

Where it survives

Weekly beach and ski markets, where cleaners do all turnovers in one day and guests expect whole-week bookings.

The cost of rigidity

A fixed changeover rejects every traveller whose dates don't fit the pattern. Markets moving to flexible stays consistently show higher occupancy for hosts who move first.
