If you have questions, send them to the hotel in writing so you have a confirmation back in writing. It should be clearly spelled out in the contract, but if there are any questions, address these before signing the contract. There are three ways hotels might calculate your pick-up and potential attrition. This allowance is generally 10% – 20% at specific date intervals outlined in your contract.


Typically, your hotel contract will give you an attrition allowance where you can release rooms without penalty. Hotels charge an attrition penalty if an event uses fewer guest room nights than initially reserved in the signed contract. Mismanaging room block and attrition for all-inclusive properties can be exceptionally costly.
