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 Big Bear. Big Bear and Joshua Tree are both Los Angeles weekend escapes, but in opposite seasons. Big Bear peaks with snow, Joshua Tree with cooler desert months and Coachella overflow. Both depend on Friday and Saturday demand, both need San Bernardino County permits, and both have many similar cabins, so features and weekend rules decide most of the revenue.
For owners with a Big Bear cabin, a desert home or both, I review your permits, how your two opposite seasons are priced and how your weekends compare with similar homes. Then we agree a year plan that keeps each property on its own calendar.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Big Bear.
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.

Big Bear cabins sell on snow and Joshua Tree on mild desert days, so I keep weekend rates high in both and only discount midweek when the forecast is dry.
Coachella weekends and wildflower season lift Joshua Tree, so I price those two festival weekends individually while Big Bear cabins move to spring rates.
Desert heat builds and the mountain is between seasons, so I lower floors, allow one night midweek and push Memorial Day as a short peak.
The lake and cooler air make Big Bear a summer escape, so I lift its weekends, while in Joshua Tree I lean on pool homes and lower rates for the rest.
Joshua Tree returns as nights cool and Big Bear hosts autumn Oktoberfest weekends, so I raise weekend rates in both and keep Thanksgiving as its own block.
I set Christmas to New Year as the top block with three or four night minimums in Big Bear, and price desert homes for clear-sky holiday trips.
Price Big Bear snow weekends and holiday weeks as the top winter bands, adjusting when snow arrives.
Price Joshua Tree October to May as the main season, with Coachella weekends as a premium.
Use 2-night weekend minimums and allow 1-night weekday stays.
Charge clearly for hot tubs, fire pits and views against comparable cabins.
Confirm the county permit before setting occupancy and minimum stays.
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.

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 winter access, chains and steep driveways, since a poor arrival in snow costs more in reviews than any rate decision.
Busiest in Big Bear: Ski weekends from December to March in Big Bear, and October to May in Joshua Tree with Coachella spill-over in April. September to November: Joshua Tree returns as nights cool and Big Bear hosts autumn Oktoberfest weekends, so I raise weekend rates in both and keep Thanksgiving as its own block. December: I set Christmas to New Year as the top block with three or four night minimums in Big Bear, and price desert homes for clear-sky holiday trips. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Weekend premiums with 2-night minimums, holiday-week pricing, and San Bernardino County STR permit compliance. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Big Bear calendar before I make it. July to August: The lake and cooler air make Big Bear a summer escape, so I lift its weekends, while in Joshua Tree I lean on pool homes and lower rates for the rest.
Big Bear peaks with snow, Joshua Tree with cooler desert months and Coachella overflow. Both depend on Friday and Saturday demand, both need San Bernardino County permits, and both have many similar cabins, so features and weekend rules decide most of the revenue.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Big Bear the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Joshua Tree October to May as the main season, with Coachella weekends as a premium. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Big Bear sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. April: Coachella weekends and wildflower season lift Joshua Tree, so I price those two festival weekends individually while Big Bear cabins move to spring rates.

Joshua Tree town and Yucca Valley: Desert homes near the park's west entrance; I price by design, privacy and pool, and drop rates carefully as summer heat arrives. Moonridge and Fawnskin and the North Shore get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Big Bear, not the market average.
