Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Bogotá: Corporate and conference travel; Estéreo Picnic and concerts; Medical tourism; Digital-nomad demand in Chapinero. Guests I price for: Business travellers midweek and remote workers on monthly stays. Where I start: Corporate midweek rate cards and monthly discount ladders.
From my five-star experience I help Bogotá hotels negotiate corporate accounts, forecast the Corferias calendar and fence leisure packages away from business rates, so events and medical travel lift revenue without diluting the corporate base that carries the year. Puente weekends get their own leisure offers.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Bogotá.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“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.”
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.

More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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!

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 outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. The travel time to Corferias, El Dorado airport or the northern clinics, since fair, transit and medical guests choose by that one number.
Price Estéreo Picnic and concerts. Next: keep RNT registration current. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Bogotá property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Bogotá: January outside holidays. January: 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. June to August: 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.
Monthly demand ignored and unregistered listings. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Bogotá, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Bogotá, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Bogotá sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. 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.
Usaquén: Leafy, with a Sunday market and major clinics nearby; I price for families, medical visitors and longer stays rather than short city breaks. Parque 93 and Chicó and La Candelaria get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Digital-nomad demand in Chapinero, Corporate and conference travel and Estéreo Picnic and concerts are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Bogotá. December: Business winds down and families visit for the holidays, so I switch from corporate to leisure pricing and allow shorter stays around Christmas.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Bogotá I would start from February to May: Business travel returns, Estéreo Picnic lands in March and FILBo fills Corferias around April and May.
