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 Dubrovnik: Old Town and city-walls tourism; Dubrovnik Summer Festival; Cruise calls; Wedding and honeymoon travel. Guests I price for: International couples on 3 to 5 night stays in the Old Town, Lapad and Ploče. Where I start: High-season premiums with minimum stays, view positioning, and off-season floors.
For Dubrovnik hotels I bring my five-star chain experience to wedding and group blocks, tour operator contracts against direct summer demand, and view-based room categories, with comps chosen by location in Ploče, Lapad or the Old Town rather than by star rating across the whole city.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Dubrovnik.
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.
“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.”

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.
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 |

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 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 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 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.
Price sea and Old Town views clearly higher. Next: set off-season floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Dubrovnik 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 Dubrovnik: November to March. April to May: 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. November to March: 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.
Short stays in peak summer and winter priced like summer. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Dubrovnik, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Dubrovnik, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Dubrovnik sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. 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.
Old Town: Inside the walls, where every stay is close to the sights. I price at the top, protect festival dates and set clear minimum stays in summer. Ploče and Pile and Lapad and Babin Kuk 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.
Wedding and honeymoon travel, Old Town and city-walls tourism and Dubrovnik Summer Festival are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Dubrovnik.
