The Art & Science of Pricing
Times have changed. The landscape is multi-dimensional, the way we book travel is a maze and the consumer is now in control. This leads to the question: Is pricing still important? Or has the landscape changed so much that price is just a by-product that is required to close the sale? With discounts hitting us on every corner, is there such a thing of still getting the price right? Or is it simply time for us to look at our industry and job role in a different light – do we need to re-examine the way we define “demand” and ultimately “pricing”?
