Diagnose quiet weeks

Calendar fill starts by spotting recurring gaps: compare three seasons of history and the market data 2026 benchmark for your area (Tremblant, Lac Supérieur, Charlevoix).

• Occupancy under 40 % in a month = act.
• Competitors on promo = adjust or differentiate (spa, location).
• Weekday min-nights too high = unnecessary barrier.

Pricing and product levers

1. Lower mid-week rate vs weekend.
2. 4+ night stay with discount or late checkout.
3. “Workcation” packages outside July–August.
4. Email past guests on the direct channel.
5. Seasonal photos — bare autumn trees hurt clicks.

Pair with marketing strategies and the estimator to test net revenue impact.

Open vs closed calendar

Closing empty weeks can hurt algorithm visibility. Prefer attractive pricing plus flexible min-nights, and block only for spa maintenance or documented family use in your iCal sync.
