Compliance and Regulatory Alignment
This course introduces hotel revenue management practices alongside key U.S. regulatory considerations affecting pricing transparency, consumer protection, and accessibility. Learners gain awareness of pricing disclosure requirements for short-term lodging, responsible use of pricing technology, guest privacy considerations, and commercial governance practices.
