It also helps hotels to make sure there&#8217;s enough money every month to pay the bills and reserve money for other expenses such as investments.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the budget shows you how much money you\u00b4re going to make and can be seen as a roadmap<b> of how next year will look like<\/b> in terms of performance.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, the hotel budget season starts towards the end of August with presentations to management starting the following month. However, with trends ever evolving and Covid-19 impacting booking behaviour, it is important to take factors such as booking windows, cancellations trends, increasing room rates, and inflation into account. All of these factors can heavily influence the accuracy of your hotel budget plan. In practical terms, taking an agile approach and adjusting your budget later this budget season can be beneficial for any hotel.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:+3%;width:100%;\" id=\"2\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h2>Does your Hotel Budget have to be Adjusted throughout the Year?<\/h2>\n<p>The budget generally doesn\u00b4t change, this is where the <a href=\"\/en\/revenue-management\/revenue-management-book\/hotel-forecast\">hotel forecast<\/a> comes into play where you start comparing your budget vs. your forecast.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:+3%;width:100%;\" id=\"3\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h2>Should Every Hotel Create a Budget Plan?<\/h2>\n<p>The answer is simple: YES Simply running a hotel on intuition doesn&#8217;t cut it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Whether your hotel is a boutique property with 15 rooms, or a 400 key large scale urban hotel, it is essential to have sophisticated planning and reporting in place to maximise results.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width:100%;\" id=\"4\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><h3>So, Why are Budgets so Important for Hotels?<\/h3>\n<p>The hotel industry is a highly competitive industry.

I have to share with you a funny story about budgeting with you. So we are working with many different hoteliers, and in this case, it pertains to the management of a resort. Hotels in vacation markets for many have been influenced (indoctrinated) by tour operators on how to manage their property. As a result, budgets are made per person rather than per room, meaning that the total revenue objectives become \u2018flexible\u2019 if the measurement of results does not incorporate enough factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this particular case, the hotel\u2019s management was under the impression the hotel was performing on target as the correct average rate per person was achieved. Unfortunately, the average occupancy per person per room was actually 20% lower than normal, which made it impossible to reach the total revenue target, because the average room rate was totally off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold on, it gets even funnier. When we were working through the budget for each month, we noticed that several months had targets at revenue levels below last year. Upon probing the reasoning behind this, we were explained that some tour operators had informed them they were expecting 10% fewer bookings from a particular country. No one ever raised the thought to initiate partnerships with other <\/span><a href=\"\/en\/glossary\/channels\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">distribution channels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to offset this possible decrease in demand. Capturing more market share, or penetrating new markets was just not in their mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sorry, I just had to get this rant off my chest. But unfortunately, it is very typical for our industry. Especially in resort hotel markets, tour operators have for too long influenced hoteliers on how to run their business. Hoteliers need to get more strategic insight and understanding of the financial side of the business. Moreover, they have to become more creative in methods and <\/span><a href=\"\/en\/glossary\/revenue-management-strategy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">revenue strategies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to increase the performance of their property.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:+3%;width:100%;\" id=\"7\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of Hotel Budget Sophistication<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An industry colleague I respect highly called me last week, asking if I knew of any online tool which helps hoteliers develop a professional plan of approach. Not just a standard one, like most hotels, punch out, listing a few trade fairs and showing a % increase per segment. No, he was looking for a system that really guides you through every detail and forces you to look at all aspects that need to be incorporated. And he is right; <\/span><a href=\"\/en\/hotel-management\/hotel-marketing-plan-strategies\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marketing plans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in general are too superficial.
