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 Bogotá. Bogotá is a business city with nomads in Chapinero. Corporate and conference travel fills weekdays, medical tourism adds longer stays and concerts like Estéreo Picnic bring weekend spikes. The city is less seasonal than coastal Colombia, so steady weekday pricing and a good monthly offer usually matter more than chasing short peaks. I also keep the big concert weekends priced separately so they are not lost inside a flat monthly rate.
For a Bogotá apartment I check how well it serves business, medical and remote-work guests, and how far it is from the hubs each one needs. Then I set a corporate rate card, event premiums and a monthly ladder, so each segment has a clear target through the year.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Bogotá.
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.
Offices restart slowly after the holidays, so I lower floors, open monthly terms and target remote workers who arrive to settle in for the year.
Business travel returns, Estéreo Picnic lands in March and FILBo fills Corferias around April and May. I lift event dates and keep the corporate weekday card firm.
Mid-year school holidays slow business, though Rock al Parque and summer festivals help. I hold weekday rates and look for stays of a week or more.
Corporate travel peaks again and fairs such as ARTBO fill Corferias, so I keep business rates firm and price fair weeks above ordinary weekdays.
Business winds down and families visit for the holidays, so I switch from corporate to leisure pricing and allow shorter stays around Christmas.

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.

Step 4

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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. The travel time to Corferias, El Dorado airport or the northern clinics, since fair, transit and medical guests choose by that one number.
Busiest in Bogotá: Business-travel weeks year-round, Estéreo Picnic in March, and the December holidays. February to May: Business travel returns, Estéreo Picnic lands in March and FILBo fills Corferias around April and May. I lift event dates and keep the corporate weekday card firm. September to November: Corporate travel peaks again and fairs such as ARTBO fill Corferias, so I keep business rates firm and price fair weeks above ordinary weekdays. 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.

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