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 Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is compact, popular and seasonal. The Old Town fills from May to October, with July and August highest, and cruise traffic is now limited by the city. Views of the walls or the sea decide most of the price difference. Winter is quiet.
If you own a Dubrovnik apartment, I check its registration and local rules, review how its view, steps and location really compare, and build a seasonal plan with firm summer rates, clear shoulder steps and an honest decision about winter.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Dubrovnik.
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.

Many owners close, but the Winter Festival and Advent keep a few guests. I either close with intent or set low, steady rates for longer stays and slow travellers.
Spring couples and early cruise days start the season. I price weekends and cruise-heavy days higher and keep minimums short to attract early visitors.
The Summer Festival from mid-July and the busiest cruise days push demand. I open summer dates early with four night minimums and firm view premiums.
Warm seas and quieter streets suit couples and honeymooners. I step rates down weekly through October and shorten minimums gradually.
Price July and August as the top season with minimum stays.
Add the Dubrovnik Summer Festival as a premium.
Price sea and Old Town views clearly higher.
Price Lapad and Ploče on separate comps.
Set off-season floors.
Performance has flattened
RevPAR is stuck while the market around you moves on.
Opening, renovating or rebranding
A new positioning needs a pricing and distribution strategy built from scratch.
An owner wants a second opinion
You need the operator's numbers checked by someone outside the hotel.
You have a team but want a better plan
Someone prices today and wants an audit, a calendar and training.
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.
A written report and a working session: the gaps ranked by value, the strategy to close them and a 12-month calendar.
Step 4
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

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!

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 many steps lead from the road or the gate to the door, because many homes above the Old Town involve steep stairs, and guests need that clear before they pay a premium.
Busiest in Dubrovnik: May to October, with July and August the highest and cruise-ship days adding pressure. June to August: The Summer Festival from mid-July and the busiest cruise days push demand. I open summer dates early with four night minimums and firm view premiums. September to October: Warm seas and quieter streets suit couples and honeymooners. I step rates down weekly through October and shorten minimums gradually. 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.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.
