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 Calgary. Calgary, Banff and Canmore combine the Calgary Stampede, Rockies summer tourism and ski season. Banff and Canmore restrict tourist homes to specific zones, so eligible homes are valuable. Calgary itself has energy-sector business travel. Banff and Canmore book months ahead for summer, while Calgary books closer in for business. I open the mountain calendar early and keep city pricing flexible.
For owners in Calgary or the Bow Valley, I look at zoning eligibility first, then at how the property competes against hotels in Banff and condos in Canmore. From there I build a twelve-month plan that treats Stampede, the summer park season and ski weeks as three separate problems instead of one curve.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Calgary.
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.

In Banff and Canmore I protect the Christmas and Family Day weeks with longer minimums, then let midweek ski nights in January flex a little to catch Sunshine and Lake Louise groups.
Snow is going and the trails are not open yet, so I shorten stays to two nights and court Calgary weekenders instead of waiting for international summer traffic.
Rates climb steadily as the parks open; I keep early-summer pricing slightly below the July peak so the calendar starts filling before the highway gets busy.
The ten days of Stampede get their own price block in Calgary, and the mountain towns hold full summer rates with three-night minimums because demand there runs well past the event.
Larch season and quieter trails still sell in the Rockies, so I keep weekends near summer levels and only soften weeknights once school is back.
Calgary weekdays lean on energy-sector business travel, while Banff and Canmore get two-night stays and modest weekday offers until the ski hills open.

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 far the listing is from the Stampede grounds or a C-Train station for Calgary units, since guests during the event search by transit and walking time before price.
Busiest in Calgary: July to August (Calgary Stampede and Rockies summer) and mid-December to March ski season. Mid-December to March: In Banff and Canmore I protect the Christmas and Family Day weeks with longer minimums, then let midweek ski nights in January flex a little to catch Sunshine and Lake Louise groups. Stampede and July to August: The ten days of Stampede get their own price block in Calgary, and the mountain towns hold full summer rates with three-night minimums because demand there runs well past the event. 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.
Stampede premiums, Rockies dual-season pricing, and compliant strategies under Banff and Canmore tourist-home rules. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Calgary calendar before I make it.

Banff townsite: Scarce legal supply and international demand let me open summer and the holidays early at confident rates, with longer stays rewarded rather than single nights.
