Why is occupancy so important?

A centre’s costs are largely fixed, so the proportion of licensed places that are filled is the main driver of profitability. Small, sustained gains in occupancy can transform a centre’s results.

How quickly can occupancy improve?

It depends on the causes. Some are quick wins (tour conversion, responsiveness) and others take longer (reputation, rating). We prioritise the changes with the best return first.
