Your hotel's revenue manager, without the full-time hire.I take over the revenue manager role for Chiang Mai hotels, resorts and serviced apartments: daily rates, restrictions, forecasting and distribution, with a monthly report you can check. Plans start from $650 a month by hotel size, month to month, remote in Indochina Time (UTC+7).
Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Chiang Mai, Thailand, one to one, remotely and in Indochina Time (UTC+7). In Chiang Mai, I price November as the peak and March to April as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Hotel revenue management plans are priced monthly by hotel size, with Core from $650 a month, Plus adding channel and segment optimization and Pro adding forecasting and a monthly strategy call. They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue.

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 Chiang Mai: Yi Peng lantern festival; Digital-nomad demand in Nimman; Cool-season tourism; Songkran. Guests I price for: Remote workers on monthly stays, international travellers on 3 to 5 night stays. Where I start: Monthly discount ladders, festival premiums, and burning-season floors.
From my hotel background, I help Chiang Mai hotels and boutique resorts manage festival surges, group tours and long-stay guests, with rate fences for Yi Peng and the cool season and a plan for keeping occupancy healthy through the smoke and the rains.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Chiang Mai.
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.
“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.

No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
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.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.

|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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 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. December to February: Cool, clear weather brings tourists and nomads; I keep rates firm, reward monthly stays and price Christmas and New Year as short premiums. 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. How the listing handles air quality, from purifiers to clear information, since burning season guests check this before booking and good answers protect rates.
Lower burning-season floors. Next: confirm licensing for short stays. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Chiang Mai 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 Chiang Mai: March to April burning season and June to September rains. May to October: 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. March to April: 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.
Burning season priced like peak and monthly demand ignored. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Chiang Mai, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Chiang Mai, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Chiang Mai sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda. March to April: 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.
Nimman: Cafes, coworking and nightlife attract nomads and younger travellers; I price monthly rates firmly and lift festival nights for tourists. Old City and Hang Dong 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.
Songkran, Yi Peng lantern festival and Digital-nomad demand in Nimman are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Chiang Mai. December to February: Cool, clear weather brings tourists and nomads; I keep rates firm, reward monthly stays and price Christmas and New Year as short premiums.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Chiang Mai I would start from 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.
