Overview

What is hotel revenue management outsourcing in Lancaster?

Hotel revenue management outsourcing means an external team takes over the revenue manager role: daily rate and inventory decisions, restrictions, forecasting, distribution and reporting. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision; the work, the tools and the expertise are provided for a monthly fee instead of a salary.

Demand drivers in Lancaster: Amish Country farm tours and buggy rides; Sight and Sound Theatres; The Strasburg Rail Road; Central Market and Kitchen Kettle Village. Typical guests: East Coast families and church tour groups on 2 to 3 night stays around Lancaster city, Bird-in-Hand and Strasburg. Where the work starts: Show-schedule-driven demand around Sight and Sound, weekend minimum stays, and farm-stay positioning that sells the rural setting.

Lancaster hotels depend on motorcoach tours, church groups, families and weekend leisure. We manage group blocks around Sight and Sound's schedule, use length-of-stay controls on peak weekends and price Christmas show weekends separately. The Route 30 and Route 340 corridors form the natural comp set.

The full service is described on our outsourced revenue management for hotels page; this page covers how it applies in Lancaster.
