Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Cornwall, United Kingdom, one to one, remotely and in GMT / BST (UTC+0 / +1).

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 Cornwall: UK school holidays; Surf season in Newquay and North Cornwall; Boardmasters festival; Coastal-path and staycation demand. Guests I price for: UK families on Saturday-to-Saturday weekly stays, couples and dog-owners in the shoulders. Where I start: School-holiday weekly pricing with fixed turnover days, shoulder-season short breaks, and council-tax and licensing compliance.
My hotel background suits the coastal hotels and inns of Cornwall and Devon, where summer demand is guaranteed and the rest of the year is not. I review school-holiday pricing, short-break packages, wedding business and the balance between agency and direct bookings, so summer is never undersold.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Cornwall.
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.
“Cornwall and Devon are school-holiday markets. Late July and August sell out Saturday to Saturday, May half-term and Easter are strong, and the shoulders belong to couples and dog owners. Second-home council tax premiums and the end of the holiday let tax regime have raised costs. I price summer weeks well and build short breaks for the rest of the year.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
I keep a sensible floor and offer three-night breaks for couples, walkers and dog owners, with February half-term priced as a small lift rather than a peak.
Easter and May half-term sell first. I price those weeks as premiums and keep the weeks between them open to short breaks and flexible changeovers.
Couples and families with pre-school children fill June, and the Falmouth sea shanty festival adds a weekend. I lift weekends and keep short stays available midweek.
School holidays and Boardmasters in early August around Newquay drive the peak. I hold fixed changeover days and refuse short stays that would break a week.
Surfers, couples and dog owners keep the coast alive. I move to short breaks, price October half-term higher and sell Christmas and New Year as one block.
Price late July and August weeks with fixed Saturday turnover.
Price Easter and May half-term as premiums.
Offer 3 and 4-night short breaks from September to June.
Price dog-friendly homes as a clear tier.
Review pricing against higher council tax and tax costs.
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.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |

Airbnb host
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!

Busiest in Cornwall: Late July to August school holidays, May half-term, and Easter. June: Couples and families with pre-school children fill June, and the Falmouth sea shanty festival adds a weekend. I lift weekends and keep short stays available midweek. July and August: School holidays and Boardmasters in early August around Newquay drive the peak. I hold fixed changeover days and refuse short stays that would break a week. 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 shows parking, beach access and the steepness of the walk, since families with buggies and dogs choose by convenience as much as by the view.
Offer 3 and 4-night short breaks from September to June. Next: review pricing against higher council tax and tax costs. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Cornwall 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 Cornwall: November to February. January and February: I keep a sensible floor and offer three-night breaks for couples, walkers and dog owners, with February half-term priced as a small lift rather than a peak. March to May: Easter and May half-term sell first. I price those weeks as premiums and keep the weeks between them open to short breaks and flexible changeovers.
Dog-friendly features not priced and winter left empty instead of offering short breaks. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Cornwall, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Cornwall, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Cornwall sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and Sykes. March to May: Easter and May half-term sell first. I price those weeks as premiums and keep the weeks between them open to short breaks and flexible changeovers.
Newquay and Watergate Bay: Surfing and Boardmasters bring younger groups as well as families; I price festival week highly, set clear group rules and keep surf-season weekends firm. St Ives and West Penwith and Salcombe and the South Hams 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.
Coastal-path and staycation demand, UK school holidays and Surf season in Newquay and North Cornwall are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Cornwall. September to December: Surfers, couples and dog owners keep the coast alive. I move to short breaks, price October half-term higher and sell Christmas and New Year as one block.

I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Cornwall and work remotely in GMT / BST (UTC+0 / +1). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price Easter and May half-term as premiums.
