Revenue Management
Based on Supply & Demand, Prices tend to rise when demand exceeds supply,
which is why revenue management seeks to increase revenue by focusing on
high-profit bookings instead of high-volume bookings to high-profit bookings As a
result:
By increasing bookings on low-demand days & by selling
rooms at higher room rates on high-demand days, can
improve profitability
In general, room rates should be higher (in order to maximize
rate) when demand exceeds supply & lower (in order to
increase occupancy) when supply exceeds demand
Critical Importance of Forecasting
HMC, common problem fixed inventory of products & there is
no way to recover time & revenue lost
