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 Block Island. Block Island is a tiny, ferry-dependent summer market. Supply is limited, July and August are full, and guests plan their stays around ferry schedules. Most of the island closes in winter. I price summer high and weekly, and make sure arrival rules match the ferries.
For Block Island owners, I review your summer weeks, your shoulder rules and how well your arrival days fit the ferry. Then we set a plan that protects July and August, earns properly in June and September, and avoids discounts that limited supply does not need.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Block Island.
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.
Most of the island closes, so I use this period to open next summer's weeks with confident rates and offer only a few long-stay options.
Weekend couples and early families arrive, so I price long weekends and, in the years Block Island Race Week runs, lift that week above its neighbours.
Supply is tiny and demand is high, so I hold weekly rates firm, keep July Fourth highest and refuse early discounts even when August weeks are still open.
Warm water and the bird migration attract couples, so I shorten stays to three or four nights and keep weekends firm while weekdays soften.
Ferries thin and businesses close, so I either close the home or offer simple long-stay rates for island workers.
Price July and August on weekly stays, with July 4th highest.
Match check-in days to ferry schedules.
Price by distance to the ferry and beaches.
Use long weekends in June and September.
Close or offer low winter rates.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding

You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.

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.

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. Whether the listing says clearly if a car is needed and how easy it is to bring one, since car reservations on the ferry fill early in summer.
Busiest in Block Island: July to August, spiking over Independence Day and August weekends when the ferries run full. July to August: Supply is tiny and demand is high, so I hold weekly rates firm, keep July Fourth highest and refuse early discounts even when August weeks are still open. September to mid-October: Warm water and the bird migration attract couples, so I shorten stays to three or four nights and keep weekends firm while weekdays soften. 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.
