Hotel Alpenblick Generates 15% More Revenue with RPG

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

My name is Jürg Brawand, I completed an apprenticeship as a chef and then attended the hotel management school in Lausanne. In December 2011 I was allowed to take over the Hotel Alpenblick in Grindelwald as a tenant. We are a small, family-run team. We offer dormitories, rooms with shared shower, family rooms and double rooms with shower and WC for price-conscious travellers in Grindelwald.

Why it matters: In the low and mid season we can sell the rooms on average 15% more expensive.

The aviation industry as a pioneer has shown the way. I think in tourism, dynamic pricing is very important and the future.

Top 3 Core Objectives: We needed a system that would automate and give me more time while still maintaining control.

Automation: The pricing need to be automatically and react very quickly

Before we have divided the summer and winter season into 3 categories each. Early season, high season and low season. On the winter weekends we charged a weekend supplement. We set the prices through competitive analysis and experience. In each season, the prices were static and were only changed at very short notice, if at all, and rarely. At the end of each season, we worked on the season after next, which was very time-consuming.:
