The TDM Agilysys Hotelier “Revenue beyond the room” round table was held today morning at the Hyatt Regency Sukhumvit, Bangkok, Thailand.

The event was presented by Tony Marshall, VP and MD Asia Pacific Agilysys and co-supported by Bousserind Comson, BDM, APAC, HotStats. Facilitated through the Travel Daily Media (TDM)  Platform, supported by Gary Marshall, CEO, TDM and Chris Head, GM, TDM.

The breakfast round table discussed the power of ‘Revenue Per Guest’. ‘Revenue per guest’ or RevPAG, a better way today to assess total profitability and more importantly, future revenue potential.

That is because in many cases the guest revenue derived from other amenities and services exceeds the room revenue for that guest.

The discussions paved the way for better understanding of Property Management System (PMS) tools available today for hoteliers to grow business and profits.

Hoteliers who were part of the engaging round table discussion included: Harry Thaliwal, CEO, Cross Hotels & Resorts; Gavin Vongkusolkit, Managing Director,
Heritage Estates, Adlib & Erawan Group; Peter Lucas, Managing Director, Habitat Hospitality.

Also present were, Alex Parry, Managing Director, Lets Hyde Hotel; Scott Walton, Managing Director, SK Hotels; Matthew Fryar, General Manager, Avani Hotel, Pattaya (Minor Hotels); Nida (Natty) Wongphanlert, Managing Director/owner, 137 Pillars (BKK & ChiangMai)
