Course overview
The ever-changing customer expectations cause critical challenges to the hospitality industry’s value creation models. Traditional approaches to market dynamics, pricing or distribution do not any longer enable companies to reach the full potential and future profit level requirements. In this context, hospitality operators need to step away from old practices and start to embrace more holistic, collaborative, customer-centric and sustainable business practices.
This training course teaches you the wide range of price/product/distribution opportunities. Students will come away from this course knowing how to effectively use Revenue Management to boost profits, and how to optimize the company short term and long term offering.
The participants are expected to watch all the video content under each module, acquaint themselves with additional materials provided, and then take the quizzes. The quiz can be taken 3 times and we recommend that participants watch the videos and practise until they feel they master the topic.
