Checking Into Hotel Revenue Training

By Gary Butler


People need to sleep. People also prefer to sleep on beds, because of the human inclination towards comfort. Proving that comfort can be lucrative. But it can also be fraught with peril. To improve the chances of success, hotel revenue training must be acquired.

Hotels are temporary by design. Each serves as a business providing travelers with a home away from home. Different establishments cater to different reasons for travel.

A lodge is used mainly for travel. Travelers need a place to sleep, so hotels exist for to provide them with one. There are many different kinds of establishments, each catering to different needs and budgets.

To entice guests to stay, there can be all sorts of amenities. At the very least, there will be a restaurant, or at least a buffet, for guests to dine. Most places will have a gym, ranging from a windowless room with a treadmill and some weights to a complete health club with a spa. Some really nice places will be fully integrated resorts, with casinos, five star restaurants, and malls all attached.

All businesses are run by people. The number of people depends entirely on how large the business is. A corner store might just have a manager and a couple of other workers. But a hotel is significantly more complicated than that. Multiple departments must work in conjunction not just with each other but outside merchants as well in order to make sure everything is run smoothly and guests have a pleasant stay.

Hotels can be very profitable and stable, if in the right location. People are always going to travel, and as such, people are always going to need a place to stay while travelling. A good, reputable establishment can stay in business for hundreds of years, as one hotel in Japan has been operating continuously since the eight century.

But success is only achieved if done right. In order to know how to do things the right way, one must first be trained. Even with proper training, one still runs the risk of abject failure, a risk that is only exacerbated without proper training. As such, proper training and education are both necessary, not to remove the risk of failure, but to minimize it to a degree.

A university is where most general managers and chief executive officers receive their initial training. Some will learn on the job, but all are educated at some point in time. Most universities will offer courses on how to run a business and some will offer one focusing on run the operation of a hotel. For those without the resources to go to a university, community colleges and trade schools offer courses in skills that hotels are in need of.

The world of guest accommodations can be fun and glamorous. Travelers come from all walks of life and have all kinds of attitudes and points of view. But entry into the world does not come without a price, and while that price may be daunting, it is one that can be fully paid, given the right access and foresight. Breaking into the world may not seem simple, but with some dedication, it can be done.
