The fundamental components of Revenue Management are applied to any business that has fixed capacity, perishable inventory, and time-variable demand.

The discipline involves many skills and this initial course will introduce you to each one.

Research from Cornell University used eye tracking software and interviews to analyse how consumers make their accommodation decision, and the process involved. The results found that far more than price, imagery was a critical component. One of the study’s authors, Stephani K. A. Robson said: “What guests appear to be thinking about is how well all the pieces of information about the hotel—price, brand, photo, ratings, and so on—fit together… They used pictures to imagine themselves at the property and to see if the hotel was the right ‘fit’ for them, so images that provide some sense of the experience, not just what the hotel looks like from the outside, may be powerful, perhaps even more than reviews or ratings which get a lot of attention from the industry.
Hoteliers now need to learn how to influence consumers to book their rooms instead of another property. To do this, you’ll need an understanding of the customer journey, not just for holiday-makers, but for business people and meeting planners too.

With an accurate forecast, hotel management will have a good understanding of their performance goals in terms of occupancy, rate and overall rooms revenue. For example, if a popular event in the area brings a number of new guests to the door, forecasting helps hoteliers understand how to set prices to maximise revenue. In addition, your forecast will determine when it is necessary to lower rates to boost occupancy on days with lower demand. Simply put: A forecast is a tool used to run a hotel more effectively and profitably.
You will Learn:
- What are the different types of forecasts?
- What are the objectives for each of the types of forecasts?
- What information do I need to put a forecast together?
- How do I find this information?
- What questions should I ask when putting together a forecast?
- How often should I be adjusting the forecasts?
- What are the steps that I need to follow to put the forecast together?
- What is the difference between unconstrained and constrained demand?
- What are the elements of an accurate forecast?
A revenue strategy is critical to the success of a hotel’s revenue management philosophy. A revenue strategy allows the entire revenue team to discuss, strategise, and understand what the goals are for the hotel, and how to work towards these goals. This course provides examples of good strategies and how the revenue team members should use the strategy to make decisions.
You will learn:
- To understand the components of a good revenue strategy;
- Different revenue strategies explained;
- Pricing Strategy;
- Exercises in how to use the Revenue Strategy to manage day-to-day tactics;
- Inventory Control- how inventory can impact on sales. If forecasting constraint, monitor to ensure controls do not have too big an impact and adjusting strategy where necessary and why revenue managers might withhold inventory.
Once the market segments are defined for a hotel, it is up to the revenue director, along with the director of sales, to ensure a healthy mix of the segmentation. This is a key component to optimising a hotel’s pricing strategy and approach. Since hoteliers offer multiple rates for essentially the same room type it is critical to understand the importance of pricing and all it encompasses.
