From economic woes to travel fears to last-minute decision-making, the ever-changing mindset of today�s travel consumers is motivating a revenue management revolution in the hospitality industry.  Savvy hotel executives, recognizing this shift, know that their chances of winning and losing are directly related to their ability to play by a new set of rules.  For those seeking to become the top players in this new game, Aspire will offer its Revenue Management Boot Camp November 9 - 12, 2004, in Phoenix, Arizona.

�The past few years have been a roller coaster for the hotel industry and the ride is still not over� said Renie Cavallari, Director of Inspiration and Founder of Aspire.  �Today�s revenue leaders will not only have to be flexible, they are going to have to learn to adapt quickly and evolve daily.  With our Revenue Management Boot Camp, we will offer insight and training into the new tools, approaches and solutions needed to deal with the ever-morphing travel dynamics including electronic distribution and management, challenges of demand decline and market share, mass customer shopping on the internet, and the complexity of integrated pricing,� she continued. 

According to Aspire, the difference between leading or following is taking proactive actions towards real opportunities. The quickest way to improve revenues is to improve the capture of inquiries whether voice, website, GDS, or internet related. Capturing just 10 more reservations through your website, GDS, reservations sales office and other channels each day at a $150 average daily rate is $1500 of new revenue per day. Do that for 365 days and you have over $500,000 in new revenues!
