Why are guests so unpredictable? Is there anything we can do in order to make them more predictable?

In recent years more and more hoteliers have commented on the fact that it is becoming harder to predict what demand will be like. Guests book later and later, events that traditionally had a high impact now have much lower impact and guests seem to change their mind on what they like. During this session we will discuss in what way we might be able to do in order to steer our guests towards a more predictable behavior.

Real time pricing

As the travel industry has evolved and become more digitized, markets that hotels operate in today have become faster, more transparent and more competitive than ever, pushing down profit margins. The old school of revenue management, where it used to be enough to pull historical reports from an isolated, non-connected PMS, to decide the future room prices, does not longer apply.

What is the difference from being a Revenue Manager today compared to 10 years ago?
- Does the skillset of an RM differ – if so; in what way?
What does Real Time Price Optimization mean?
What gains (and risks?) come with real time price optimization?
How do you think the Revenue Management Department will operate in a real time revenue management environment – will the RM role need to change? If so, in what way?
