Hotel revenue management consulting is an independent review followed by a plan. I look at 12 to 24 months of your own data, shop your comp set, and find where rates, restrictions or channels are costing you money. Unlike outsourcing, I do not make your daily decisions; your team does, with a better plan.
This is my view of Belfast. Belfast and Northern Ireland sell the Causeway Coast, Game of Thrones locations and Titanic Belfast. Summer is strongest, and concerts and conferences add city demand. Tourism NI certification is required for short-term lets. Many visitors split their trip between Belfast and the coast, so a two or three-night minimum in the city usually works better than longer stays, and event nights deserve their own price.
For a Belfast or Causeway Coast owner I check certification first, then separate city pricing from coastal pricing. We plan concert and conference dates in the city, race week and golf events on the coast, and winter strategies for both, so neither property is priced from the other's calendar.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Belfast.
A review of the last 12 to 24 months: pricing decisions, rate architecture, restrictions, channel mix and cost, comp-set position, pace and the systems behind them, with every gap ranked by value.
Base rates and floors per room type, BAR levels tied to occupancy and pace, seasonal and event calendars and restrictions, written as a 12-month calendar your team can run.
Which channels to sell on, at what rate and with which promotions, so the mix protects margin: OTAs, corporate, wholesale, metasearch and direct.
A demand forecast, an annual budget, weekly pace reports and a workshop for your team, plus honest advice on revenue systems before you sign for one.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Six Nations weekends in Dublin pull some visitors through Belfast, but otherwise it is quiet. I keep a floor, open single nights and offer weekly rates to contractors and visiting academics.
St Patrick's week and Easter give the first lift. I price those dates above ordinary spring weekends and open Causeway Coast homes for short breaks.
The Belfast Marathon and the North West 200 races near Portrush bring strong dates. I price race week on the north coast as its own block and keep two-night rules in the city.
Coast homes sell by the week to families and golfers, and summer concerts at Boucher Road fill city weekends. I stop discounting and hold firm minimum stays.
Conferences and autumn touring keep weekdays steady, and the City Hall Christmas market lifts November and December weekends. I price those modestly higher and protect midweek business rates.
Price May to September as the main season.
Add concert and conference dates in Belfast.
Price Causeway Coast homes separately.
Allow short stays around cruise days.
Keep Tourism NI certification current.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. I scope the work and confirm the price before starting.
With read-only access to your PMS, channel manager and extranets I analyse the data, shop your comp set and talk to whoever sets rates today.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, 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!

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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the listing explains getting to the Giant's Causeway, the Dark Hedges and the Game of Thrones studio tour, because many guests plan day trips from Belfast and choose by access to tours.
Busiest in Belfast: May to September, with the Causeway Coast, Game of Thrones tours and stadium concerts. May and June: The Belfast Marathon and the North West 200 races near Portrush bring strong dates. I price race week on the north coast as its own block and keep two-night rules in the city. July and August: Coast homes sell by the week to families and golfers, and summer concerts at Boucher Road fill city weekends. I stop discounting and hold firm minimum stays.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
