Revenue Mastery is coming to Kochi for a full-day workshop designed for hotel owners and hospitality professionals who want to take a more complete approach to improving hotel revenue.
Revenue does not end when a room is sold. Pricing and distribution influence whether a guest books, while the experience delivered after the booking can influence whether that guest returns.
Revenue Mastery brings both sides of that equation into one programme.
Guest experience and repeat business
Sadikh P. Padikkal will lead a session on guest satisfaction and its relationship with repeat business.
The session will explore how the reservation experience, arrival, service interactions, handling of requests and the overall stay can influence whether guests choose the hotel again or recommend it to others.
For independent hotels, creating an experience worth returning for can become an important source of future demand.
Pricing, occupancy and distribution
Azhar Umar will lead sessions covering pricing, occupancy and distribution.
Participants will explore how room rates can be considered alongside demand and occupancy rather than in isolation, and why high occupancy alone does not necessarily mean a hotel is maximising its revenue.
The programme will also look at the roles of OTAs, direct bookings and repeat business in building a healthier distribution mix.
Who should attend
Revenue Mastery is designed for:
- Hotel and resort owners
- General managers
- Revenue managers
- Reservations professionals
- Sales and commercial teams
- Hospitality professionals involved in guest experience
Whether you manage revenue yourself or work with a team responsible for pricing, reservations and operations, the workshop is designed to help you connect these decisions and look at hotel performance as one system.
