Revenue Management is an exciting place to be, right at the heart of a hotel’s profitability, navigating sometimes choppy waters to optimal profitability. However increasing demands on the revenue management function are putting pressure on the role as we know it. The job spec of today’s revenue manager is very different to that of only a few years ago and especially for the smaller hotel, the recruitment and ongoing training to develop in house expertise can be expensive. This is where outsourcing is gaining acceptance as a viable, flexible and more cost effective option to hiring a full time revenue manager.
