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 Brasov. Brașov and Transylvania combine summer castle and mountain touring with winter skiing at Poiana Brașov. International visitors tour Bran and Peleș, and central Europeans ski in winter. Romania requires a tourism classification certificate. Many visitors are on a multi-stop tour of castles and towns, so two-night stays and good parking suit the market better than long minimums.
For a Brasov apartment or a small set of chalets, I look at how the home splits its year between touring and skiing, check the certificate and channel set-up, then write a month-by-month plan so summer castle demand and winter slope demand are each priced on their own terms.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Brasov.
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.

Ski weekends at Poiana Brasov carry the season, so I charge more for Friday and Saturday arrivals near the slopes and keep the Christmas to Orthodox New Year stretch as one protected block.
Snow fades and castle coaches have not started in earnest. I accept single nights in the old town and lean on Easter and the May bank holidays for local Romanian demand.
Touring season and the Transfagarasan opening bring drivers from all over Europe. I open these weeks with firm rates and treat the Sighisoara medieval festival weekend in July as its own premium date.
Autumn colour in the Carpathians and Halloween events at Bran keep demand healthy. I hold rates through early October and only soften midweek nights once the coaches thin out.
The gap between touring and skiing is the softest month. I lower the floor modestly, offer longer stays to remote workers and keep the December weekends closed to discounting.
Price June to September for castle touring.
Price December to February ski weeks.
Use 2-night minimums for touring guests.
Price old town homes higher.
Keep the classification certificate current.
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.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

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

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. Parking and driving time to Bran, Rasnov and Sinaia, since most of these guests arrive by car and judge a base by how quickly they can reach the castles each morning.
Busiest in Brasov: June to September for the mountains and castle touring, with a December to February ski season at Poiana Brasov. September to October: Autumn colour in the Carpathians and Halloween events at Bran keep demand healthy. I hold rates through early October and only soften midweek nights once the coaches thin out. December to February: Ski weekends at Poiana Brasov carry the season, so I charge more for Friday and Saturday arrivals near the slopes and keep the Christmas to Orthodox New Year stretch as one protected block.
