Revenue Management Challenges for Independent Hotels across Gulf Region

Economic challenges is hanging over the Gulf Countries industry and being felt even more by independent hotels due to lack of system (a performing CRS, Foreign Sales Support, RFP impact...). With additional supply still being added, or residential buildings converting to Hotel Apartments, the pressure for hotels will still be effective in 2012-2015.

At the very time they need a revenue manager who not only does the usual opening and closing rates and inventory but also has the ability to generate revenue.. The Revenue Manager should be performing a full time analytical tasks, know strategic market information and makes sounds decisions. Many revenue managers for independent hotels are performing a multi task jobs involving Sales / Reservation / Revenue / Operations tasks. Can they really perform? Their job description cannot give them hands on Revenue Management effectively.

At the very time these hotels need more of a presence on the internet through the OTAs and other distribution channels, they can’t afford to hire an expensive e-commerce company. What if they could hire a revenue manager with the skills to get them exposure that they need to generate incremental revenue? The salary and payroll burden for someone with this experience would likely be more than their payroll can support.

If the economy continues to be uncertain, these are the hotels that suffer first.

Now RSVP Hospitality proposes that simple Outsource Revenue Management Program (6-12 months program) that guarantees to generate incremental revenue equal to or greater than their fees.
