DUBLIN IrelandThe Irish hotel market has been one of the most challenged in Europe with heavy discounting being the order of the day. To help recalibrate the industry to be more focussed on delivering a revenue maximised approach top US expert Jeffrey Osborne CRME led a one day seminar in Bewley’s Hotel Dublin 4 last Monday.
The seminar was part of a four-city-tour by Jeffrey who also presented in Belfast Oslo and London (of which the latter takes place today) and the delegates in attendance were treated to numerous practical examples and tips from a speaker with a wealth of inside knowledge in Revenue Management tips. Text continued below photograph.
Osborne stressed to the attendance the need to adopt a more strategic perspective on price setting and one that was rooted in a better insight into the buying patterns of different hospitality segments. There was a very positive feedback from delegates to the presentation and also keen interest in the roll-out of the Certified Revenue Management Executive programme to Europe. In fact it is anticipated that the first Irish CRMEs will be graduating very shortly!
