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 Ericeira: Ericeira World Surfing Reserve; Nazare big-wave season at Praia do Norte; Peniche surf breaks; Obidos walled town and festivals. Guests I price for: surfers and coastal travellers on 4 to 7 night stays in Ericeira, Peniche and the villages of the Costa de Prata. Where I start: a near year-round surf calendar that fills the winter big-wave months, AL registration along the Silver Coast, and swell-driven pricing rather than a simple summer peak.
Hotels and surf lodges between Ericeira and Nazaré serve surfers, families and event visitors, often in the same week. With my five-star background I help them plan surf-camp allotments, set rates for Peniche competition weeks, price winter swell days with some agility and keep summer weekends for higher-paying direct guests.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Ericeira.
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.
“Ericeira and the Silver Coast are surf markets, which makes them almost year-round. Summer brings beach families, while October to March brings the Nazaré big-wave season and serious surfers. The quiet gap is spring. I price by swell season as much as by summer.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Big-wave swells at Nazaré and solid winter surf in Ericeira bring surfers and spectators, so I keep surf-season rates firm and offer weekly stays rather than cutting to a winter floor.
The quiet weeks between surf and beach seasons are my focus for longer-stay offers, so I add weekly and monthly discounts and target remote workers and surf schools.
Beach families from Lisbon and abroad fill the coast, so I price weekends and summer holiday weeks firmly and set four to seven-night minimums near the best beaches.
The swell season returns and the Nazaré tow-surfing challenge can be called at short notice, so I keep some flexibility and lift prices when a big swell is forecast.
Price June to September for beach visitors.
Price October to March for surf visitors, especially near Nazaré.
Offer weekly and monthly surfer rates.
Price Ericeira, Peniche and Nazaré separately.
Keep AL registration current.
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.

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 Ericeira: June to September for the beaches and October to March for the Nazare big-wave swells. January to March: Big-wave swells at Nazaré and solid winter surf in Ericeira bring surfers and spectators, so I keep surf-season rates firm and offer weekly stays rather than cutting to a winter floor. June to September: Beach families from Lisbon and abroad fill the coast, so I price weekends and summer holiday weeks firmly and set four to seven-night minimums near the best beaches. 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 calendar reacts to big swell forecasts and events like the Nazaré tow-surfing challenge, since those dates can be announced with only days of notice.
Offer weekly and monthly surfer rates. Next: keep AL registration current. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Ericeira 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 Ericeira: the quiet weeks of April and May between the surf and beach seasons. April to May: The quiet weeks between surf and beach seasons are my focus for longer-stay offers, so I add weekly and monthly discounts and target remote workers and surf schools.
All surf towns priced from one comp set and no longer-stay option for surfers. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Ericeira, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Ericeira, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Ericeira sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. June to September: Beach families from Lisbon and abroad fill the coast, so I price weekends and summer holiday weeks firmly and set four to seven-night minimums near the best beaches.
Ericeira: A World Surfing Reserve with Ribeira d'Ilhas and Foz do Lizandro; I price it for surfers in winter and families in summer, with strong weekend demand. Peniche and Baleal and Nazaré and Óbidos 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.
Obidos walled town and festivals, Ericeira World Surfing Reserve and Nazare big-wave season at Praia do Norte are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Ericeira. April to May: The quiet weeks between surf and beach seasons are my focus for longer-stay offers, so I add weekly and monthly discounts and target remote workers and surf schools.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Ericeira I would start from June to September: Beach families from Lisbon and abroad fill the coast, so I price weekends and summer holiday weeks firmly and set four to seven-night minimums near the best beaches.
