Total revenue is the total income of the hotel from the sales the available rooms in the hotel, for a specific time period. The revenue generation can be rise up if the operational management would be done properly.

There is another method is the contracting with travel agents in order to achieve full occupancy of the rooms at the hotel. All these methods aim to increase the sales of service and the occupancy of the rooms. The management of the revenue can be done with the proper utilization of the resources.

Here, yield management include strategic control on inventory so that it can be sell to the right consumers in a right way.
