Advice for Entering Hotel Revenue Management & Distribution Roles in Germany
Hi everyone,
I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Hospitality in Germany and recently became very interested in hotel Revenue Management and Distribution. I have a Bachelor’s in Hotel Management along with experience in hospitality, QSR, retail, and customer operations. Lately, I’ve been focusing on building skills in Excel, forecasting, hotel KPIs like ADR/RevPAR/occupancy, dashboards, and understanding STR reports and hotel distribution systems.
I’m also aware that German language skills are important in this field, so I’m working on improving my German alongside technical skills.
For professionals already working in RM or Distribution, what would you recommend focusing on most to become a strong candidate for entry-level or internship roles in Germany? Also, how important is front office/reservations experience compared to analytical and commercial skills for junior revenue positions?
Would really appreciate any advice or insights.
