Abstract

This meta-analysis scrutinized 76 peer-reviewed articles regarding hotel revenue management published from 2013 to 2019. The main topics explored were pricing strategy, demand modeling and forecasting, business analysis, performance analysis and evaluation, inventory and price optimization, setting booking controls, and distribution channel management. Furthermore, articles were investigated based on their use of theory, methodology, as well as location. In the end, a comprehensive analysis of gaps in the literature and avenues for future research were provided.
