The WestJet Vacations Revenue Management team manages day to day and long-term strategic revenue optimization for WestJet Vacations. What is Revenue Management?

Using forecasts of future demand and continual re-optimization of package revenue, the WestJet Vacations Revenue Management team balances guest promise with pricing optimization. Revenue Management is a blend of art and science that requires the combination of strategic thinking and business acumen and an acute ability to make high impact decisions.
