If so, take a look at Hotel-Online & REVPAR GURU’s upcoming series of articles, Rethinking Revenue Management. These will run bi-weekly in this space starting on Friday, January 14th, and provide valuable information on how forward-thinking hotels can profit from the growth anticipated for 2011. In these articles, we’ll take a hard look at how technological advances can be harnessed by the wise revenue manager. Traditionally, the hotel industry has been slow to respond to the great leaps in technology over the past few decades; in many ways, it is a business stuck in the past and clinging to outdated revenue generation models. With a good, state-of-the-art revenue management system, a hotel can take a fluid, proactive and flexible approach to making sure guests not only book a room, but also produce revenue from other offerings. And leap ahead of the competition in the process. Beyond RMS, the series will examine other key issues that will need to take a forefront in any hoteliers’ or revenue managers’ mind in 2011, including the shrinking booking window, key metrics, dynamic pricing, how stock market principles can be integrated into your pricing strategy, and more. So don’t miss this series, Rethinking Revenue Management, which starts Friday, January 14 on Hotel-Online.com. We’re looking forward to helping your hotel profit for 2011 and if you have any questions or need additional advice, please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time – [email protected]. Here’s to a successful 2011 for all!
