Annual conference hosted by Hotel ICON and Duetto explores tactics hotels need to thrive in volatile competitive landscape
Hong Kong, July 17, 2017 — The smartest minds in hotel revenue management will convene 11 October for the third annual Revenue Strategy Forum (RSF) Hong Kong, to discuss ways hotels can optimize their pricing and distribution in the face of an increasingly dynamic marketplace and new industry challenges. Hotel ICON will host the daylong conference, which will feature insights from leading hospitality executives and the founders of co-host Duetto.
Third Year for RSF Conference
In an era of rapid change with new players and intermediaries, it’s critical that all hotel stakeholders — GMs, DORMs, sales and marketing leaders, owners and asset managers — have the right revenue strategies in place to tackle distribution complexities. The third annual RSF, sponsored by Duetto and Hotel ICON, is a gathering of thought leaders designed to help hotels implement holistic strategies to achieve top- and bottom-line growth.
“Entering its third year in Asia, RSF has quickly become a critical program to generate new ideas and approaches to shape the future of hospitality,” said Patrick Bosworth, co-founder and CEO of Duetto. “We are excited to expand this forum to bring even more innovation forward and develop new revenue strategies alongside hotel owners, asset managers and brands.”
