INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF DYNAMIC PRICING STRATEGIES ON REVENUE OPTIMIZATION IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY
Abstract
The hospitality industry operates in a dynamic environment where pricing decisions are crucial for revenue and profitability. Traditionally, static pricing models were used, but technological advancements and evolving consumer behavior have highlighted dynamic pricing strategies. Dynamic pricing involves real-time price adjustments based on demand, seasonality, and competitor pricing. Despite its growing adoption, the effectiveness of dynamic pricing in the hospitality sector remains under-explored. This study evaluates the impact of techniques like time-based pricing, demand-based pricing, and yield management on revenue and profitability. Using quantitative and qualitative data, the research addresses three objectives: assessing the effectiveness of dynamic pricing strategies, identifying factors influencing their effectiveness, and investigating specific market conditions or consumer behaviors that affect dynamic pricing success. Findings indicate dynamic pricing enhances revenue during peak periods and maintains stable income during off-peak seasons. It optimizes occupancy rates, increases restaurant table turnover, and allows competitive pricing adjustments appreciated by customers. Quantitative analysis confirms dynamic pricing significantly boosts revenue optimization, although effectiveness varies by market conditions, competition, and customer behavior. Key influencing factors include market demand dynamics, competitive environment, consumer preferences, operational constraints, regulatory considerations, and price transparency. Dynamic pricing is most effective during peak seasons and in economically stable regions. Consumer behaviors like booking lead time and mobile app usage are also significant. Clear communication about price changes enhances customer acceptance and perception of fairness. This study concludes that technological infrastructure, data accuracy, and real-time processing are critical for successful dynamic pricing, offering practical implications for hospitality professionals to gain a competitive advantage.Keywords:
