Ryman Hospitality Properties' business model, focused on large-scale convention center resorts, provides some insulation from typical seasonality. Group bookings have a long lead time, with a weighted average booking window of 2.9 years, offering revenue visibility and stability. The company benefits from cancellation fees for these advance bookings, and transient leisure travel is a smaller component of its bookings. Softness in leisure holiday demand impacted business performance below expectations in the fourth quarter, and seasonal patterns for RHP's stock returns are tracked.
