摘要

Revenue Management (RM) maximizes revenue and profitability in industries with perishable goods. This study proposes the MERMCAMP model (Model for Evaluation of Revenue Management in Camping Industry), a framework developed to evaluate RM implementation in outdoor hospitality. The model is based on previous research and was further refined through an expert consensus in a qualitative Delphi survey. A panel of 10 experts participated in several rounds of interviews to identify and evaluate key RM practises for the camping sector. MERMCAMP comprises 119 items categorized under eight key elements: culture, forecasting, segmentation, pricing, distribution channels, competitors, evaluation and digitalization. The model provides a practical and scalable approach for campsite operators to improve pricing, inventory management and business performance.
