Abstract

In the hospitality industry today, online global distribution and product pricing are of critical importance in understanding the effectiveness of revenue management objectives and optimisation of top-line revenue performance. This research proposes a new model which tests hotel online global distribution competency using the following variables: reach, content, consistency and price parity (RCO2P). This study investigated the deployed competency of 15 full-service urban market hotels and their online global distribution performance pertaining to RCO2P. Core findings of this study indicated a range of both competency and inconsistency in price parity and reach across multiple distribution channels. Specifically, preferential display sequencing emerged as a significant factor in the reach category among all properties. Only 6 of 15 properties were measured as having optimal reach effectiveness. The price parity index reflected the most situation critical performance among sampled properties.
