TravelClick Hosts Complimentary Webinar on Q3 2012 Hotel Industry trends

Leveraging Key Revenue Metrics and Driving Hotel Profitability

Best Practices and Effective Measurement

NEW YORK – 2012-11-08 — /travelprnews.com/ — TravelClick, the leading provider of revenue generating solutions for hoteliers, will present three complimentary webinars on November 28th and 29th to review third quarter 2012 hotel performance results and trends. Findings will be presented by TravelClick executives John Hach, Senior Vice President, Global Product Management, Caryl Helsel, Vice President, Demand and Distribution, and Rao Avasarala, Vice President, Business Intelligence.  The webinars will be moderated by Barbara Taylor Carpender, President and CEO at Taylored Alliances.

For many years, the measurement of revenue management and financial success for hotels has been focused on RevPAR (revenue per available room). But there is a movement in the industry to more effectively measure profitability per guest and by channel. The metrics for this include GOPPAR (Gross Operating Profit Per Available Room sometimes referred to as PROPAR), REVPAG (Revenue Per Available Guest) and TREVPAR (Total Revenue Per Available Room). In order to analyze success based upon these values, there is a necessity to provide enhanced data including the ability to measure total revenue per guest as well as to understand the true cost of a reservation by channel. The webinar will delve into these new metrics, analyze the pros and cons of each, discuss the impact on hotel technology integration and showcase what best practices and business intelligence will be necessary to enable the industry to measure success.

Additionally, the webinar will highlight findings of third quarter hotel performance results and future industry trends, which are based on TravelClick’s proprietary Agency360™ solution, eMonitor market performance reports, as well as MarketVision Demand Position™ forward-looking data. Our experts will also provide specific recommendations to help plan and execute hotel marketing strategies to maximize profitability in 2012 and 2013.

Key topics will include:

•  Review and analysis of third quarter hotel performance

•  Regional analysis of key markets throughout the world

•  New approaches to measuring profitability

•  Best practices in technology and merchandising in order to drive top line revenues

•  2012 and 2013 outlook
