Radisson Hotel Group gears up to support family adventures with the roll out of Rad Family program

Radisson Hotel Group is proud to announce the roll out of its bespoke Rad Family kids’ program. Following a successful launch in 2019, Radisson Hotel Group's family offering - Rad Family - continues to attract families with great offerings throughout all stages of the guest journey from booking to arriving back home and re-living their memories with Radisson Hotels. Since 2019, internal performance data has shown a significant increase in bookings with children in 2022 across EMEA, driving the roll out of the Rad Family program now to more than 100 hotels and more to come. At Radisson Hotels, we are always ready for a family adventure. Across our family-focused properties, families will enjoy the perks of the Rad Family kids’ program, where each guest is welcomed with personalized service and amenities. Upon arrival, kids receive a welcome gift (soft ball, snap bracelet or a Lumi plush toy), drink voucher and a welcome pack with specially designed gifts, including a booklet filled with quizzes and activities, as well as a passport where kids can collect stamps from different parts of the hotel, and get creative with a colorful box of stickers and crayons. At breakfast, the Kid’s Corner includes a selection of parent-approved healthy comfort food to suit every palate, kids’ tableware, as well as crayons and a placemat to let their imagination run wild and kickstart the adventures for the day ahead. In the Family Rooms, complimentary kids’ bath products for children up to 4 years old, including hypoallergenic products, are available to make traveling as a family that little bit easier. Cribs for little ones can also be booked at all participating hotels without any additional cost, and children under 12 stay for free when sharing the room with their parents. “Since the launch of “Rad Family” in 2019, this year internal data performance has shown an exponential rise of 70% in kids and family staying in our properties in EMEA. Families are choosing our kid-friendly properties as they know our “Rad Family” offering will ensure they all have a wonderful time on their vacation. If the kids are happy, excited, and engaged, the whole family will have a wonderful experience, and this is why more and more properties in our portfolio are incorporating the “Rad Family” program as part of their offering,” says Cristina Serra, SVP Global Brand, Experience & Customer Strategy. To support the Rad Family roll out in the UK specifically, Radisson Hotel Group partnered with Universal Pictures to celebrate the release of the highly anticipated DreamWorks film Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, starring Academy Award® nominee Antonio Banderas, Oscar® nominee Salma Hayek Pinault, Oscar® winner Olivia Colman, and Ray Winstone (Black Widow).

Following its unparalleled success in 2022, Radisson Hotel Group reinforces its commitment to revenue management innovation with the addition of two new expert teams in APAC, harnessing as such the Group’s position as a global player in hospitality revenue management. 2022 was a year of unparalleled success for The Club of Revenue Management by Radisson Hotel Group (The Club). The Club team received the prestigious HSMAI award for “Revenue Management Team of the year”, an award that recognizes innovation spirit, the disruptive use of technology, focus on talent development, and outstanding results outperforming the rest of the market. The Club’s commitment to total revenue management was also reflected in new developments in RevPlan, Radisson Hotel Group’s automated system for forecasting across all revenue streams developed by IDeaS, as well as in strategic partnerships that enable teams to benefit from dynamic F&B pricing. In addition, the Group’s revenue management experts can now also make strategic decisions on-the-go, thanks to the new dashboards launched in the mobile app version of Pulse, the custom business intelligence tool that combines data from the Property Management System, Financial Reporting Systems as well as external sources. Gianni di Fede, Senior Vice President Revenue Management, BI & Distribution at Radisson Hotel Group, notes: “Radisson Hotel Group is known around the world for its best-in-class talents and technology to maximize revenue across our hotels and deliver the best GOP in the industry. We are proud of our teams, not only because of the results they deliver, but also because of their team spirit and Yes I Can mentality. In 2023, we are taking The Club a step further with the addition of two expert teams in New Delhi and Shanghai, which allows us to develop our global team of revenue experts.” In a short period of weeks, Radisson Hotel Group teams, in collaboration with area leadership, operational, sales, and finance teams, developed a strategy to bring The Club’s best in class concept to New Delhi and Shanghai, bringing together human talent and technology from global and local partners to deliver strong total revenue growth. While Shanghai’s first hotel will join very soon, the team in New Delhi is already optimizing the revenue strategy of ten hotels. Following last year’s successful conference, The Club is organizing its fourth edition of the Revenue Strategy Days Conference from 14 to 15 March in Budapest. The conference will bring together revenue teams from across the globe, as well as 10+ key industry partners to talk about revenue management strategy, innovation, and technology of the future. The Revenue Strategy Days conference provides an opportunity and forum for leading travel industry partners, including Expedia Group, MakeMyTrip, and Cvent to highlight their market expertise and provide insight on how to optimize the customer booking journey, as well as improve the guest experience. The Club of Revenue Management by Radisson Hotel Group is an international revenue community from more than 40 nationalities with teams in Madrid, Dubai, New Delhi, and Shanghai. The Club operates in 50+ countries and delivers global expertise, local market knowledge, and revenue management services to 280+ hotels. More than just a revenue management solution, The Club offers successful models for owners and partners to deliver results and uncover new business opportunities in every revenue stream.
