Trip.com optimization for hotels is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Trip.com. I adapt your content for the Chinese and Asian traveler, set up promotions and flash sales, and manage the service signals Trip.com scores.
What I plan around in Åre: Åre ski area; Sportlov school holiday weeks; Summer mountain biking at Åre Bike Park; World Cup ski races. Guests I price for: Stockholm and Swedish families and groups on weekly ski stays. Where I start: Sportlov week pricing by region, Easter premiums and summer bike-park rates.
Åre sells mostly through Local agencies, Booking.com and Airbnb. For Åre hotels and lodges I work on winter allocation between agencies and direct, conference business in the shoulders, and packages for ski passes and summer bike passes. I draw on years running hotel revenue to set group rules for World Cup weekends, ski schools and corporate events that compete for the same rooms.
The service in general is described on my trip.com optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Åre.
These guests look for different things first. I rewrite content and highlight what they value, from payment and language support to specific facilities.
I order photos so the property card works for this audience and flag shots that do not suit it.
Trip.com runs on campaigns. I decide which promotions and flash sales earn their cost and structure rate plans to match.
Service scores and reply speed influence placement. I set response routines and fix the causes behind low scores.
Trip.com brings very few guests to Åre, though some Chinese travellers interested in Swedish winter may book there. I check that the Chinese content explains the resort, ski access and transport from Stockholm, that breakfast and payment are clear and that rates match. A tidy listing is enough.
My first step is checking whether the hotel has received any Trip.com bookings, then deciding whether it is worth keeping live.
The quietest stretch of the year; I keep minimum floors, sell to conference overflow, and open Christmas and sportlov rates early, since families plan winter weeks well before the snow arrives.
The season opens with Christmas and New Year weeks that sell well to families, then early January goes quiet; I price the holidays firmly and offer short stays to Norwegian and Swedish weekend skiers afterwards.
Quieter, west along the valley, with its own lifts and a calmer feel, so I price slightly below Åre By and lean on families and returning guests who prefer peace.
My full Åre calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Åre.
Trip.com is the leading channel for Chinese outbound travel, and its guests book differently, expect different services and reward different signals. If your market receives these visitors, a profile written for them is a separate piece of work, not a translation.
A new Trip.com listing
You have just connected Trip.com and want it to rank and convert from the first weeks, not after months of guessing.
Views but few bookings
Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on Trip.com.
Commission without much return
You pay Trip.com commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Trip.com and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Trip.com listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Trip.com: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Trip.com account or through your channel manager, and explain each one so you can maintain it.
Step 4
About 30 days later I look at impressions, conversion and booking share on Trip.com and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Trip.com optimization per property after a short chat. You get a fixed scope and price before any work starts.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | Trip.com optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Trip.com | Quoted |
Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
Alaa was fantastic, going through each of the properties I had and gave great advice and actioned a great game plan. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their pricing strategy on PriceLabs. Alaa's experience goes beyond this which makes it very beneficial to have this holistic approach.
Property manager
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!

December to January: The season opens with Christmas and New Year weeks that sell well to families, then early January goes quiet; I price the holidays firmly and offer short stays to Norwegian and Swedish weekend skiers afterwards.
Busiest in Åre: February to April ski season, with Swedish sports holidays (sportlov) highest. February to March: Sportlov runs week after week here, and I look at which regions are on holiday each week, then lift the busiest ones and let quieter weeks carry slightly lower rates. April: Long spring days, late snow and Easter make April one of the nicest months on the mountain, so I keep Easter week near the top and stay firm on the weekends that follow.

Duved: Quieter, west along the valley, with its own lifts and a calmer feel, so I price slightly below Åre By and lean on families and returning guests who prefer peace. Åre By and the village square and Björnen and Tegefjäll get their own treatment.

Whether the property is sold through SkiStar's accommodation booking or another local agency as well as on Airbnb, and which channel gets the sportlov weeks first, since double handling of peak weeks is common.
