What’s the problem?

cs_pic1_royalhighland.jpg

The Royal Highland Hotel goes beyond traditional revenue management, and incorporates customer behavior, dynamic pricing, segmentation, distribution, and marketing to optimize revenue from potential clients for which they required a trusted channel manager.

With guests coming from all over the world, managing and monitoring bookings according to the demands in a systematic way was difficult in the absence of a channel manager.

What were the constraints?

Remote Location

Being located far north of the UK mainland, the hotel needed to be visible to guest throughout the year and during the high season, the hotel needed an easy tool that can change rates in line.

Diverse Guest Portfolio

With its diverse guest profile, the revenue management team was grappling with the online distribution. Simply adopting more channels to sell on was not enough, but the hotel needed to assess which channels were worth it and managing all those channels, manually, was a different struggle.

Here’s what really happened

With RateTiger’s seamless connectivity, Royal Highland Hotel has been able to expand to new markets through regional channels and increase brand exposure. As RateTiger makes it easy to update rates and availability on multiple channels in a click, the revenue management team of Royal Highland has been able to save immense time managing online distribution.

RateTiger Channel Manager allows them to manage day-to-day inventory, with a quick and fast overview of all the bookings on a single dashboard and meet the demands for market intelligence.

Post Covid, the hotel managed to reach around 85% occupancy very quickly with the help of RateTiger Channel Manager by selling on the right OTAs and ensuring quick ARI updates across channels.

Africa

Crown Hotel Port Moresby

Refers RateTiger As Smart

Solution For Online Distribution

cs_header_crownhotel.png

How did the story begin?

cs_pic1_crownhotel.jpg

Crown Hotel Port Moresby is a hill-top resort providing an all-embracing view of the Coral Sea. Located at Papua New Guinea’ business district, this hub welcomes hundreds of business travellers every week.

With the diversion of hotel bookings to web portals, even top companies shifted to online booking channels /website/ OTAs. This brought a big blow to Crown Hotel Port Moresby’s reservations.

To maintain position, optimal distribution and real-time ARI update was the need of the hour.

Challenges faced

Disconnection Among All Hands Of Travel

Catering mainly to business travellers, Crown Hotel Port Moresby’s management demanded a global distribution channel. They wanted a computerized system that could initiate free flow of transactions between airways, hotels, car rentals and travel agencies.

Manual Online Distribution

It’s true that the hotel owners were spreading their wings to different hotel booking sites, but were facing barriers. Handling each of the OTAs manually was very time consuming with a high chance of errors. This cost the hotel in terms of time, revenue, expansion and mistakes.

How did it begin?
