hotels, attractions and destinations with information gleaned
from travel blogs…

12. Today’s challenges
of hotels and hotel groups
— 20 years ago revenue management for hotels was
much simpler
— Initially a hotel reservation department was the
point of sale for all clients - PMS
— Subsequently hotel groups added CRO’s and the
GDS came along (CRS)
— The first Internet third party channels started to
play a role.
13. Today’s challenges
of hotels and hotel groups
— Today there are hundreds of channels customers
can use to evaluate hotels and do hotel
reservations
— In parallel the pressure on hotel groups, owners,
management increased
— Technology became more complicated
— Less time and resources available to make more
difficult decisions
