In today’s competitive hospitality landscape, managing the revenue function isn’t just about filling rooms—it’s about maximizing every dollar of potential. Strategic leadership in revenue management is the difference between a hotel that survives and one that thrives.
The course Managing the Hotel Revenue Function offers a comprehensive framework for leaders who want to take control of pricing, forecasting, and commercial strategy. It’s not about theory—it’s about real-world execution.
Forecasting: Your Profitability Engine
Forecasting isn’t just a spreadsheet exercise. It’s the foundation of every smart decision in your hotel. From staffing to pricing to marketing spend, accurate forecasting drives profitability.
This course teaches you how to:
- Audit your forecasting process to ensure it follows best practices
- Support your revenue team with the right tools and data
- Challenge assumptions and improve forecast accuracy
During crises like COVID-19, forecasting becomes even more critical. The course includes a special module on forecasting in low-demand scenarios—skills that remain relevant in any downturn.
Pricing and Rate Parity: Control the Narrative
Pricing is no longer a back-office function. It’s a strategic lever. As a GM or commercial leader, you must understand how pricing decisions impact perception, parity, and profitability.
This course helps you:
- Manage rate parity across channels
- Leverage automation without losing control
- Align pricing strategy with market demand and brand positioning

You’ll learn how to:
- Structure meetings for ROI-focused outcomes
- Drive collaboration across commercial functions
