Revenue management is a way of increasing profitability and can be applied to any business that has relatively fixed capacity, perishable inventory, and time-variable demand. The Hotel Businesses face important decisions regarding selling the right room to the right client at the right moment at the right price. Revenue Management uses data-driven tactics and strategy to answer these questions in order to increase revenue. The discipline of revenue management combines data mining and operations research with strategy, understanding of customer behavior, and partnering with the sales force. Today, the revenue management practitioner must be analytical and detail oriented, yet capable of thinking strategically and managing the relationship with sales. Revenue management is a systematic process designed to increase revenue by selling the right product to the right customer at the right time for the right price. In addition to evaluating different pricing models and applying duration-management strategies.

Primary source refers to the sources of collecting original data in which the researcher makes use of empirical approach such as personal interview, questionnaires or observation.
In my research, I used the personal interview method for my primary source of information, this is done by asking question from staff of the company. I also used a method of observation where I was attentive to all activities of the company, studying their activities and recording them down on a daily basis or as required.
