TUI UK, part of European leisure travel giant TUI which has 3,300 travel agencies and 100 aircraft, will co-present with JDA to examine the unique issues relating to Revenue Management in the Inclusive Tour business. The Webinar will also outline practical ways operators can leverage technology tools for greater profitability by managing their prices at micro-market level. JDA understands the unique forces within the tour market through its work providing large tour operators with its TRO (Tour Revenue Optimizer) revenue management system.

“JDA recognizes that the tour industry’s extended booking cycle and price sensitivity present unique challenges,” said JDA’s Group Vice President of Service Industries, Andy Archer. “Leisure travelers shop around for good deals on vacation packages across an enormously wide range of destination options – this puts price sensitivity at the heart of Revenue Management in this industry. To be profitable in today’s demanding market, operators need to know what tools are available to maximize their revenue from each market – that is the goal of our webinar with TUI.” Archer noted that the European tour industry has for some years been embracing specialized systems that optimize revenues across the huge number of lodging, travel and activity products more efficiently.

The Revenue Management Roadmap for Tour Operators webinar will feature co-presenters Aaron Sugarman, head of operational research for TUI UK; Dominic Beveridge, senior consultant for JDA Software Group and Pieter Dorhout, senior European travel consultant for JDA. The team will discuss how TUI and JDA have partnered to deliver a complex and powerful solution to address the revenue management requirements of this unique industry, and the benefits that it delivers.
