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.
