Revenue Management for the Hospitality Industry is filled with practical examples and best practices on the topic of revenue management, a critical aspect of the industry. Through numerous revenue management examples from the hospitality industry and a running case example throughout the book, students will discover how they can incorporate revenue management principles and best practices.
