Is there enough hotel space to handle that many people?Here’s what we found:THE FORMULABased on 2018 data provided by the Dickinson Conventions and Visitors Bureau, there are 1,732 hotel rooms in Dickinson. We got the occupancy rates for each month, May-November, and calculated how many people they could accommodate using the formula below. We assumed there would be no growth in occupancy rates from 2018 to 2019:<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Total number of rooms minus rooms occupied by month = Available rooms.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Available rooms multiplied by the days in the month = the max number of rooms in a month</li>
</ul>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; . Assume two people per room, multiplied by the max room number and you get the max turnover rate for a month. This means every day, all the rooms in Dickinson would be replaced with a brand new group of people.&nbsp;We also multiplied by half the number of days in a month, meaning there would be complete turnover every two days. Months with 31, May, July, August, and October, days were rounded up to 16 for the two-day formula.
