The walk policy is the hotel's response to a overbooking. A traveler arriving at a hotel where they no have no rooms available.
The policy may define the following actions
- arranging alternate accommodation
- providing transport to alternate accommodation
- compensating traveler with 1 night stay at alternate accommodation
🤓 Ah ha! Thank you! Follow up question: do you see many clients that negotiate walk policies? Is that something hotels are typically willing to do? Or more trouble than it's worth...? I suppose it's only worth it if you're seeing a high # of instances...which in that case, probably best to review whether or not to stick with that property as a preferred. I may have answered my own question. 😜
