Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Gettysburg: Gettysburg National Military Park and battlefield tours; The battle-anniversary reenactments; Evening ghost and lantern tours; Remembrance Day and the Dedication Day parade. Guests I price for: History travellers, school groups and families on 2 night stays near the square and the battlefield, drawn from across the Mid-Atlantic. Where I start: Anniversary-week surge pricing and minimum stays, weekday gap filling, and a soft winter that needs aggressive last-minute rules.
Gettysburg hotels and bed and breakfasts depend on tour groups, school trips and history travellers. With my background in five-star hotel revenue, I help set group rates and allotments for spring and the anniversary, plus transient pricing that does not hand July rooms too cheaply to early groups.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Gettysburg.
