What it means in plain language
Displacement is the mental math behind every group decision. If a group at $99 pushes out 30 transient rooms that would have sold at $189, you've displaced $90 Ć 30 = $2,700 in revenue. Always include ancillary spend, future-stay value, and shoulder-night fill before deciding. Most groups look better than they pencil.
