Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system to predict the occupancy of a facility. The system executes instructions to causes one or more processors to perform a method. The method includes a first step of collecting a first set of data associated with the occupancy of the facility in past. In addition, the method includes a second step of receiving a second set of data associated with the occupancy of the facility in a plurality of past seasons. Further, the method includes a third step of obtaining a third set of data associated with the demand of one or more users for the rooms of the facility. Furthermore, the method includes a fourth step of predicting the occupancy of the facility after applying machine learning algorithms over the first set of data, the second set of data and the third set of data.

Claims

obtaining, at the occupancy prediction system with the processor, a third set of data associated with the demand of one or more users for rooms of the facility, wherein the third set of data corresponds to a clickstream data obtained from the plurality of sources; and

predicting, at the occupancy prediction system with the processor, the occupancy of the facility after applying machine learning algorithms over the first set of data, the second set of data and the third set of data, wherein the occupancy of the facility is predicted in real-time for a particular time interval.

2. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, further comprising gathering, at the occupancy prediction system with the processor, a fourth set of data associated with scheduled events in the nearby areas to the facility.

3. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, further comprising gathering, at the occupancy prediction system with the processor, a fifth set of data associated with nearby facility competitors.

4. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, further comprising gathering, at the occupancy prediction system with the processor, a sixth set of data associated with feedback of the one or more users.

5. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, further comprising gathering, at the occupancy prediction system with the processor, a seventh set of data associated with booking of the facility through coupons and offers, wherein the fourth set of data, the fifth set of data, the sixth set of data and the seventh set of data are analyzed through the machine learning algorithms to predict the occupancy of the facility.

6. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein the first set of data comprises past booking data, past occupancy data and the past booking details of the one or more users.

7. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein the second set of data comprises past booking data received during summers, winters, vacations, weekends, festivals, rainy season.

8. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein the plurality of sources includes one or more web-based platforms associated with the facility, one or more websites associated with the facility, one or more applications associated with the facility and stored past booking database associated with the facility.

9. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, wherein the particular time interval includes specific days, specific date, specific time, weeks, months, years and specific festivals, wherein the occupancy of the facility at the particular time interval is predicted after a request for the prediction is sent to an administrator.

10. The computer-implemented method as recited in claim 1, further comprising updating, at the occupancy prediction system with the processor, the first set of data, the second set of data and the third set of data, wherein the updating is done in real time.
