Your hotel's revenue manager, without the full-time hire.I take over the revenue manager role for Albuquerque hotels, resorts and serviced apartments: daily rates, restrictions, forecasting and distribution, with a monthly report you can check. Plans start from $650 a month by hotel size, month to month, remote in Mountain Time (UTC-7).
Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Albuquerque, United States, one to one, remotely and in Mountain Time (UTC-7). In Albuquerque, I price Early October (Balloon Fiesta) as the peak and January to February as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Hotel revenue management plans are priced monthly by hotel size, with Core from $650 a month, Plus adding channel and segment optimization and Pro adding forecasting and a monthly strategy call. They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue.

Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Albuquerque: Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta; Route 66 and Old Town tourism; Film production travel; Sandia Peak and outdoor season. Guests I price for: Fiesta visitors on 3 to 5 night stays, road-trippers and production crews. Where I start: Balloon Fiesta premiums with minimum stays, summer rates, and winter floors.
My background in five-star hotels helps Albuquerque properties handle Fiesta like a citywide event: stay controls, deposits and fences on that week, group allocations for tour operators, and a base strategy that keeps business and government demand steady the rest of the year.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Albuquerque.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“Albuquerque's calendar has one week that outweighs everything else: the International Balloon Fiesta in early October. Visitors come from around the world, hotels sell out and homes can charge several times their normal rate. The rest of the year is steadier, with road-trippers and film production crews. I price Fiesta first, then build a sensible base year.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Quiet months for leisure, so I keep floors steady, invite monthly film and medical stays, and price ski weekends near Sandia Peak only slightly above weekdays.
The Gathering of Nations powwow in April is a real event, so I price that weekend as a premium and keep spring road-trip nights flexible.
Road-trippers on Route 66 and visitors to Old Town and the Sandias carry summer, so I allow short stays and protect weekend rates without expecting peak demand.
The New Mexico State Fair and early Fiesta bookings lift demand, so I keep weekends firm and stop discounting dates near October.
Fiesta is priced as a single block with long minimums, opened a year ahead, and I never sell its nights individually or at ordinary October rates.
After Fiesta I let rates settle, then price the luminaria nights around Christmas Eve in Old Town and the Country Club area modestly higher.
Price Balloon Fiesta week as the top band, opened a year ahead with 3 to 5-night minimums.
Price homes by distance to Balloon Fiesta Park.
Offer monthly rates for film and TV production crews.
Allow 1-night stays for Route 66 road-trippers outside Fiesta.
Lower January and February floors.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

Alaa helped me optimize my PriceLabs settings for my Airbnb listing and was very helpful and patient with answering any questions I had. He was also able to clearly explain why he made the changes he made, and it was obvious that he had a lot of experience in this field. I will definitely be back!

Busiest in Albuquerque: Balloon Fiesta in early October, plus May to September. September: The New Mexico State Fair and early Fiesta bookings lift demand, so I keep weekends firm and stop discounting dates near October. Early October (Balloon Fiesta): Fiesta is priced as a single block with long minimums, opened a year ahead, and I never sell its nights individually or at ordinary October rates. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether the property has the city permit and pays lodgers' tax correctly, because Albuquerque requires registration for short-term rentals and Fiesta brings extra attention.
Offer monthly rates for film and TV production crews. Next: lower January and February floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Albuquerque property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Albuquerque: January to February. Mid-October to December: After Fiesta I let rates settle, then price the luminaria nights around Christmas Eve in Old Town and the Country Club area modestly higher. January to February: Quiet months for leisure, so I keep floors steady, invite monthly film and medical stays, and price ski weekends near Sandia Peak only slightly above weekdays.
Short Fiesta stays that break the most valuable week and no monthly pricing for production crews. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Albuquerque, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Albuquerque, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Albuquerque sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. January to February: Quiet months for leisure, so I keep floors steady, invite monthly film and medical stays, and price ski weekends near Sandia Peak only slightly above weekdays.
North Valley and Los Ranchos: Closest to Balloon Fiesta Park, so I price Fiesta highest here and sell the rest of the year as a quiet, rural base with mountain views. Old Town and Downtown and Nob Hill and the University area get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Sandia Peak and outdoor season, Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and Route 66 and Old Town tourism are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Albuquerque.
