Pricing rooms and seats used to be intuition. Now it's AI plus intuition. The work applies AI analytics to pricing, occupancy patterns, and revenue per available room or seat. You'll configure and interpret revenue management systems, understand the models behind dynamic pricing engines, segment demand by source and behavior, set rate strategies that don't trade occupancy for ADR or vice versa, and generate forecasts that hold up against local events, seasonality, and what the property across the street is doing this weekend.

Why This Matters

In 2026, the difference between a hotel or restaurant that merely survives and one that thrives often comes down to pricing and demand intelligence. AI forecasting tools have become accessible to properties of all sizes, but they still require skilled operators who understand both the technology and the hospitality business context to extract maximum value.
