Revenue management

In the hotel industry, like in the airline industry, prices can be very variable. An unsold hotel night or an unsold flight seat cannot be sold the day after, but the fixed charges stay almost the same for a hotel 80% full or 90% full, same thing for a plane half full or totally full. That’s why many companies try to optimize their prices in order to get the best occupancy at the best rate. We call this practice Revenue or Yield management. On the other hand, we notice that the consumer makes searches on different Web sites that allow him to compare many services and prices before taking any decision. Hence, keeping competitive and flexible prices is an important step for the success of your business. He is what we can do for you:

• Analyze the prices of your competitors and recommend the best pricing strategy.
• Determinate the best pricing structure for your business regarding room categories, seasons, days of the week, special dates and events.
• Manage extranets and online reservation systems.
