Hotel Revenue Management
Hotel revenue management, also called yield management, is the decision discipline of selling the right room to the right guest at the right price at the right time to maximize revenue from a fixed, perishable inventory. Sheryl Kimes's 1989 paper crystallized the concept for capacity-constrained service firms, identifying the conditions, fixed capacity, perishable inventory, segmentable demand, low marginal cost, and advance sales, under which managing yield rather than simply chasing occupancy pays off. Because an unsold room-night is lost forever, the hotel must forecast segmented demand, erect rate fences that separate price-sensitive from price-insensitive guests, and decide how much capacity to protect for higher-paying late bookers. Enz, Canina, and Walsh further showed that performance must be judged on revenue per available room rather than misleading single averages, anchoring revenue management to the right objective.
