Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review of how a hotel prices, distributes and forecasts its rooms, followed by the strategy, calendar, reports and training to earn more from the same inventory. Unlike outsourced revenue management, the consultant does not make the daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
Demand drivers in The Rhine Valley: Rhine river cruises and castle views; Rüdesheim and Bacharach wine towns; Rhein in Flammen fireworks; Loreley and UNESCO Middle Rhine. Typical guests: International couples on 1 to 3 night stays, cruise and road-trip travellers and German wine weekenders. Where the work starts: Fireworks and harvest weekend premiums, short-stay pricing and winter floors.
Hotels in the gorge rely on international leisure travellers, coach tours, wine weekenders and river cruise passengers staying before or after a sailing. We manage coach group allocations so they do not crowd out fireworks weekends, price Rhein in Flammen nights as events, and work with cruise operators on pre and post cruise packages. In winter, small meetings and wine events help fill midweek.
The full service is described on our hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how it applies in The Rhine Valley.
