Ancillary revenues in some sectors of the tourist industry

Renata Imbruglia

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to highlight the role of ancillary revenue, revenue generated from the sale of goods and services that differ from or enhance the main service or product lines of a company. They are also called extra-core business. The recent world economic crisis has strongly reduced profits for many companies. Ancillary revenue is part of the strategy that has been embraced by many enterprises in different sectors of the tourist industry. We consider the hotel industry, the cruise and air transport sectors.
