Reservation Process in Hotel Industry Identification of the sources of business: The hotel normally identifies two major sources of business: Free Independent Travellers (FIT) and associated Travellers (Groups). The FIT component is simply a non-group affiliate seeking overnight accommodations. Regardless of whether a request is made by an individual, a family or a collection of friends, a request may still be termed as FIT reservation if it meets certain qualifications. When meeting groups, convention groups, and the like are seeking guest room space in the hotel, these types of requests are referred to as group reservations. The groups are differentiated from the FIT reservations based on 1.) Whether a group coordinator is involved 2.) Whether the group will pick up some or all of its member’s charges 3.) Whether special room rates, services and/or room types apply. Group reservations typically require that a block of rooms (allocation) be initially reserved for the group with a specific rooming list following at a later date. It should be noted that if a group does not have all of its blocked rooms booked by a reasonable date, most hotels will release the uncommitted rooms from the group’s block.
