In today’s competitive travel market, filling rooms is no longer just about volume it’s about optimizing occupancy, reducing operational costs, and increasing guest value. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by encouraging travelers to stay longer.
Through BookLogic’s Expedia integration, accommodation providers can easily activate Expedia Group’s Minimum Length of Stay (MLOS) promotions, allowing them to target extended-stay demand with full control and flexibility.
What Is a Minimum Length of Stay Promotion?
A Minimum Length of Stay promotion allows you to offer competitive rates to travelers who book a longer stay. This could mean one extra night — or an extended multi-night stay.
According to Expedia Group research, 22% of travelers are motivated by discounts when booking a longer trip, making MLOS promotions a powerful lever for driving additional room nights.
Why Longer Stays Matter
Encouraging longer stays helps accommodation providers:
- Optimize occupancy by minimizing gaps between reservations
- Reduce turnover costs by lowering cleaning and operational frequency
- Streamline daily operations
- Improve guest satisfaction, as guests have more time to enjoy the property and amenities
Longer stays don’t just fill rooms they improve efficiency and profitability.
