When multiple accommodation facilities in a certain area choose Revenue Management (whether independently or with a consultancy), revenue increases for everybody and the benefits are felt across the entire territory.
Even today, the Territorial Revenue Unit theory can still seem too good to be true but when it was first proposed in 2006, people thought it was impossible. Now, with years of experience behind us, we can confirm with certainty that not only is it possible, but it’s already happening.
Over the years, we have seen the positive results of this theory both for the individual properties that compose the TRUs – Territorial Revenue Units and the entire territory, which sees increased profits thanks to a growth in online visibility.
It is the individual participants who make this collaboration possible. The unit can then develop into even larger formations such as a company network. It is a powerful force that attracts more and more businesses because everybody can see the advantages for themselves and the whole territory.
Our role as Revenue Team is to help the interested properties and create TRUs. We don’t ask for any investment because we believe in this idea and we want to see progressively more TRUs.
Each Territorial Revenue Unit:
is formed of individual businesses that have understood the economic benefits of managing revenue together for all businesses and the territory
can lead to the establishment of a network of companies and, therefore, development of the individual businesses
uses our proprietary Revolution Plus software to ensure data is uniform and can be easily compared and shared
increases the visibility of the entire area, bringing benefits to the whole territory and other companies
is made up of properties that can choose to consult with the Revenue Team or work independently: no financial investment is required to start a TRU - Territorial Revenue Unit or to participate
If you too care about your business and the wellbeing of your area, get in touch.
The first UTR was formed in Grado in 2015 after the first edition of the “Grand Tour”: a camper-van tour from North to South Italy where we met hoteliers and institutions to explain Revenue Management and our application methods.
The Grado TRU – Territorial Revenue Unit is still active today and the businesses that originally chose to join are still involved. Originally, all participants chose to use our consulting services but today many manage their Revenue Management activities independently.
This is a success for us because the TRU is, first and foremost, an opportunity for the properties and the territory and this means that the businesses have grown, internalised our lessons and become independent.
