I am very thankful to Revxpert that I could learn so much about Revenue Management, Budgeting and forecasting. The best part was the activities that made it even easier to learn. I can now straight away relate and apply the learnings to my workplace. Anirudh Sharma, who attended all 10 days, was very delighted and happy. He said that, “I am overwhelmed to attend the training. It surpassed my expectations. The best part for me was meeting so many industry experts and gaining practical industry insights. The quality of training was nothing less than 5 star. The Guide Tool that they used was seamless and user-friendly and I think it was a great initiative. Over 15 expert speakers and trainers from the industry enthusiastically participated and shared their knowledge of Revenue Management and Digital Business of Hotels. Mr. Ravish Swarup of Praxis Services shared some great examples from his practical knowledge and experiences. He gave a very good example of ‘the revenue managers are not just demand managers but also demand creators’.
He recited a live situation when Oberoi Hotels were struggling to sell their Agra hotel and launch of the same day return Shatabdi was announced by the government. How management took steps to promote Agra to be an overnight destination. He concluded by saying that, “as a revenue manager, knowledge of your business is paramount”. Mr. Vijay Jaiswal, of Sarovar Hotels, gave perspective keeping the consumer in mind. He said, “The consumer is not going to change, but his behaviors are changing. So as a revenue manager, it is important to understand, how behaviors are changing”. He also said that, “since 50% or more of hotel revenues are coming from F&B in a hotel it is important to also look at revenue management beyond rooms”.
Ms. Sharda Fonia from The Westin, when asked for importance of certification, very precisely said that, “if a person has certifications, to HR, it would seem that a candidate is actually very serious regarding his subject, so it’s the person’s intent that matters along with the knowledge he has gained.” Revxpert also announced its next online batch of Revenue Management & Digital Business Programme starting 16th August 2017.
