“The Philippines needs three strategies: corporate condos in Makati and BGC, dry-season beach holidays in Boracay and Cebu and the Christmas return of overseas Filipinos. Boracay manages visitor numbers carefully, so accredited properties have an advantage. The rainy season is slower.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The Philippines has no national short-stay cap; regulation runs through local government units and the by-laws of individual condominium corporations, many of which set their own rules on daily letting, while the Department of Tourism offers voluntary accreditation. Destinations such as Boracay also operate carrying-capacity and environmental rules following the island's rehabilitation. We price to the LGU and building rules that apply to each address and leave accreditation and homeowner-association approvals to the owner.
Rates are set in Philippine peso (PHP) and priced for net revenue after channel fees. Channels: Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda lead, with Expedia reaching condo and hotel demand.
The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in the Philippines books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Set weekday corporate rates in Manila.
Price December to May beach season.
Price Christmas for balikbayan visits.
Confirm accreditation on Boracay.
Lower rainy-season floors.

Sinulog in Cebu and the tail of the holidays keep demand up, so I price festival weekends in Cebu firmly and ease rates in Manila after New Year.
Dry weather and Holy Week drive beach demand, so I price Boracay, Palawan and Cebu at their highest and set minimum stays over Easter.
Rainy season and typhoon risk slow beach travel, so I set floors for beach homes and focus Manila on corporate weekdays and monthly stays.
Weather improves and Christmas bookings start, so I open the festive season early and lift rates gradually.
Balikbayan visitors and holiday travel fill homes, so I price the Christmas to New Year stretch highest with long minimum stays.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in the Philippines needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For Philippine owners I check building and local rules, then separate city and beach strategies. We plan for Holy Week, Christmas and festival peaks and set clear corporate and monthly rates for Manila, so each property has a strategy that fits its real guests.
I set up your listing in PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with Philippine holidays, Holy Week, Sinulog and balikbayan dates, and I keep Airbnb, Agoda and Booking.com aligned so domestic, regional and overseas Filipino guests all see the same rate and rules.
From my five-star hotel background, I help Philippine hotels manage corporate, outsourcing and leisure demand, set rate fences for Holy Week and Christmas and decide how much to rely on wholesale partners for beach resorts, so the strongest dry-season dates stay available for direct and higher-paying guests.
Each market in the Philippines below has its own page with Alaa's notes on seasonality, events and how he would price it. Ask about any town or region not listed.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
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!
Airbnb host
Yes, corporate and outsourcing travel drive weekdays.
December to May.
Yes. Filipinos travel heavily on long weekends, especially to beaches and nearby provinces. I check the official holiday proclamations each year, since some dates move or are declared at short notice, and price those weekends higher with two-night minimums while keeping midweek rates unchanged.
Very much. Agoda is widely used by Filipino and Asian travellers and often brings bookings that Airbnb misses, especially for city condos and island resorts. I make sure rates, fees and minimum stays match there and on Booking.com, so you widen your reach without undercutting any channel.
Yes. Alaa works 1-on-1 with hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, Airbnb hosts and property management companies throughout the Philippines, remotely, with no minimum or maximum portfolio size. He has dedicated market pages for 1 destination in the Philippines, and the same approach works for any town or region not listed.
