The handling of the website and the numerous booking tools and hundreds of 3rd party booking and listing platforms, all of which have to be continuously and simultaneously up-dated and maintained not only in terms of content, but also in terms of availability, rates, restrictions, terms & conditions, etc., is a daily time consuming and detailed vital task. Aspects also require strategic thinking thus are not easily delegated and therefore could become neglected or cause other important operational issues being neglected.  

Sales platforms such as online travel agents (OTA’s) and meta search engines require constant supervision as it  is not uncommon for their terms & conditions to be changed automatically. This can result in your business giving between 60% and 80% of your profit to such platforms. This can be avoided by constant supervision by an experienced “Revenue & Yield Manager” usually only found in large operations.

As all these online reservation entities are your most important tool generating life saving revenue, the daily correct management of them  amongst other things, avoids  overbooking incidents, unsold or vacant rooms, no shows,  payment errors, incorrect quotes, etc. All very harmful if not disastrous for the business and often only obvious once it is too late to correct.
