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 Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is a nomad city with a festival peak. Yi Peng and Loy Krathong in November are the top weeks, and remote workers fill Nimman for months. The burning season in March and April affects air quality and demand.
For Chiang Mai owners, I check licensing, review how your home serves nomads and tourists and set a plan with festival premiums, monthly ladders and burning-season floors. We decide together how to balance nightly and monthly demand, so your property earns well across the whole year.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Chiang Mai.
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.
“Chiang Mai is a nomad city with a festival peak. Yi Peng and Loy Krathong in November are the top weeks, and remote workers fill Nimman for months. The burning season in March and April affects air quality and demand.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Yi Peng and Loy Krathong fill the city, so I price the festival nights as the year's top band, set three-night minimums and open these dates months ahead.
Cool, clear weather brings tourists and nomads; I keep rates firm, reward monthly stays and price Christmas and New Year as short premiums.
Smoke from the burning season pushes many visitors away. I lower nightly floors, add air purifiers and clear air-quality information, and price Songkran as a separate short peak.
Green season brings rains but steady remote-worker demand; I focus on monthly rates, keep nightly floors sensible and target travellers who enjoy the quieter, cheaper months.

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.

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 listing handles air quality, from purifiers to clear information, since burning season guests check this before booking and good answers protect rates.
Busiest in Chiang Mai: November to February, with Loy Krathong and Yi Peng in November and Songkran in April. November: Yi Peng and Loy Krathong fill the city, so I price the festival nights as the year's top band, set three-night minimums and open these dates months ahead.
