The concept of revenue management boils down to the optimization of financial results. By analyzing sales trends and forecasting results, using historical scenarios, price strategies are adjusted to maximize revenues.<\/p>\n<p>It originated in the airline industry in the 1980\u2019s, as they were trying to optimize their financial results. Dynamic pricing was introduced to grow revenue potential and financial results, \u00a0through anticipating and influencing consumer behavior and applying\u00a0price discrimnination. Robert Crandall, former CEO at American Airlines, who first introduced revenue management,\u00a0called it the\u00a0&#8220;the single most important technical development in transportation management since we entered deregulation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style: normal;\">Some of the definitions used to describe revenue management are:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em style=\"text-align: center;\">Selling the Right Room to the Right Client at the Right Moment at the Right Price<\/em><em style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The art of turning away business<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Matching supply and demand<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-auto\" title=\"Importance and Concept of Revenue Management in Hotels by Xotels\" src=\"\/wp-content\/images\/stories\/blog\/basic_hotel_forecast_model.png\" alt=\"Importance and Concept of Revenue Management in Hotels by Xotels\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Revenue Management and Yield the Same?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Close, but not quite.

It required a methodical work method which is consistent, accurate, precise, organized and planned.<\/p>\n<p>Logically the skill set and profile for someone to execute such tasks and responsibilities varies enormously from the average hotelier. It\u2019s another world.<\/p>\n<p>We have seen a lot of change in the last 9 years since we have launched Xotels (no we are not claiming all the glory, merely an observation). The industry has a changed a lot and recognizes the importance of revenue management.<\/p>\n<p>More hotels have either set-up a dedicated position for revenue management, and hired professionals with a background more fitting of this scientific art (which some also call yield management).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-auto\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Importance and Concept of Revenue Management in Hotels by Xotels\" src=\"\/wp-content\/images\/stories\/blog\/hotel_booking_curve_3.png\" alt=\"Importance and Concept of Revenue Management in Hotels by Xotels\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Opportunity for Improvement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However we do still see quite a lot of hotels who have not yet made the leap in driving their direct sales and bottom line profit.
