摘要
当我们还是孩子的时候,四季通过假期、校历、家庭活动来决定,或者某种程度上还有天气的作用。现在我们已经成年,看到了四季的多变性。作为酒店经营者,我们仍然可以看到假期和天气的变化,但我们需要更加密切的关注影响需求的因素。校历已经发生了巨大变化，一些地方开始采用全年出勤制度，另外一些则在学年初和年末发生了重大转变。高中和大学的学期可以有所不同，春季和冬季的休假也同样如此。
When we were children, the seasons were defined by holidays, the school calendar, family events and to some degree the weather. Now that we are adults, we see many variations of seasons. As hoteliers, we still see the holidays and the changes in weather, but we need to look at calendars and factors that affect demand much more closely. School calendars have changed dramatically, with year-round attendance in some locations and major shifts in the beginning and end of the school year in others. Semesters at high schools and universities can vary, as do spring and winter breaks.
