volume and repackages the components and sells them to a consumer on retail basis, either
directly through the wholesaler organization or via a travel agent/ tour operator.
• Free sell: rooms considered to be sold, based upon space
• Wash factor: predetermined percentage of usage based upon historical data and experience.
