Revenue Management




Revenue management is a practice used in order to maximize the revenue of a hospitality business.
营收管理是的目的是让酒店收入最大化。
It refers to selling the right product at the right time to the right consumer and for the right price.
它是指在恰当的时间点以合适的价格,向需要的人销售适当的产品。

The revenue management practice started in the airline industry but today is used in many industries such as; car and train companies, hotels, restaurants, theaters and even parking areas.
营收管理这一做法始于航空业,但如今已被许多行业运用,例如汽车火车公司,酒店,餐饮,剧院甚至是停车场。
Revenue management uses sophisticated computer programs setting strategies to predict consumer demand and optimized product availability and price to maximize revenue
营收管理使用复杂的计算机程序制定策略来预测消费者的需求,并对产品的供应能力和价格进行优化,以获得最大收益。
These programs can forecast the number of reservation, cancellations and no-shows, can track the availability of guest rooms and can compute the maximum rates based on demand and availability.
这些程序可对提前预订、取消预定和放弃预定的宾客数量进行预测,实时跟踪可用的房间数量,并根据宾客需求和可用的房间计算出房费的最大值。
As an example to this practice a hotel may not sell a room today at a low price in order to sell it tomorrow at a higher price or may sell a room today in a discounted price if the demand is low.
作为这种做法的一个例子,一家酒店今天可能不会以低价出售一个房间,以便明天以更高的价格出售,或者如果需求很低,可以以折扣价出售一个房间。

Properly used, revenue management can be a very effective tool in maximizing the revenues in a hotel.

营收经理还需为酒店的所有中介机构制定房间价格,其中包括酒店官网、第三方网站、在线旅行社(OTA—Online Travel Agency)、航空公司的预订系统等。

Revenue management is more than just a technique to yield higher revenues. It is a philosophy and culture that has to be implemented throughout the organization.
营收管理不只是为了获得高额的收益,更应融入公司的文化理念,成为全员实践的准则。
