Overview

The pace of change within the hotel, tourism and hospitality sector is intense. Keeping up with the latest strategy for revenue management is essential to ensure business growth. By participating in this course, individuals and organisations can introduce the latest thinking into their strategy and ensure maximum value is gained from each room and guest.

Our course leaders have 40 years’ of experience between them within independent and large hotel groups. They understand and can articulate the challenges around seasonality, yield management and the pressure of adapting pricing to suit demand. 

The well-respected course includes competitive simulations and practical advice, which can be immediately transferred back to the organisation. We can deliver our teaching in your business, or individuals can join the open course. We offer this two-day course aimed at helping businesses take a more dynamic approach to their revenue strategy.

A printable version of the course information is available in the revenue management short course document (PDF).

Nathalie, I want to thank you, Janel and Sylvia for a wonderful two days. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and wish to now do the forecasting module. I really can’t speak highly enough of the course.
