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 Boone. Boone and Blowing Rock are four-season mountain towns. October foliage is the top period, Appalachian State football Saturdays fill Boone, summer attracts families and December ski openings add winter weekends. Demand spikes on Saturdays. I price foliage, football and ski weekends separately and protect them from single-night bookings.
For High Country owners, I review how your rental is priced across ski, summer, football and leaf season, whether its permits fit its zone, and how weekdays are handled. Then we agree a plan with clear weekend premiums and weekday floors for each season.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Boone.
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.
Ski weekends near Sugar and Beech carry the winter, so I price Fridays and Saturdays by snow conditions and keep weekday rates low for flexible skiers.
The slopes close and summer has not arrived, so I lower floors, accept one night stays and price App State commencement as a small peak.
Cooler mountain air draws families from the Piedmont, so I keep two night minimums, offer weekly rates for longer summer stays and hold July Fourth firm.
Football Saturdays and leaf season overlap, so I price each weekend by both the game schedule and the colour forecast, and open October early.
Ski openings and Christmas trips lift the month, so I set holiday minimums and keep early December weekdays open for short winter breaks.
Price October foliage weekends as the top band with 2-night minimums.
Add App State home football and commencement weekends as premiums.
Price ski weekends near Appalachian Ski Mountain and Sugar in winter.
Discount weekdays and allow short stays.
Lower April to mid-May floors.
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 driveway and road handle snow and ice, since winter arrivals that need four-wheel drive must say so clearly or reviews will suffer.
Busiest in Boone: October for Blue Ridge foliage, June to August, and Appalachian State home-football Saturdays, with December ski openings adding a winter spike. December: Ski openings and Christmas trips lift the month, so I set holiday minimums and keep early December weekdays open for short winter breaks. June to August: Cooler mountain air draws families from the Piedmont, so I keep two night minimums, offer weekly rates for longer summer stays and hold July Fourth firm. 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.
