Intro
Under the traditional model, hotel revenue management has focused largely on rooms. Revenue management principles, however, can be applied to different service offers beyond just rooms. At its core, total hotel revenue management brings together and optimizes all revenue streams, as opposed to thinking of each department separately. The move to total revenue management involves a shift from a tactical, short-term focus to a more strategic, long-term view. thus, this seminar will discus more holistic approach of revenue management to identify revenue-generating opportunities and to optimize profit.
