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 Galway. Galway has two capacity weeks in a row: the Galway International Arts Festival and Race Week in July. Connemara and the Wild Atlantic Way spread demand across summer. Ireland's short-term letting register and Rent Pressure Zone planning rules apply. I price the festival and races steeply.
For a Galway or Connemara owner I check registration and planning, then decide whether the home is a festival base in the city or a touring base in the west. I build a calendar around the July festivals, Race Week and the Wild Atlantic Way season, with honest winter floors.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Galway.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
University of Galway visitors and short breaks keep the city ticking over, so I set city weekday rates sensibly and close or heavily discount remote Connemara cottages.
Easter and the May and June bank holidays bring the first Wild Atlantic Way drivers; I price those long weekends firmly and leave midweek flexible for touring couples.
The Film Fleadh, the Arts Festival and Race Week at Ballybrit follow one another, so I price these three weeks at the top with minimum stays and no late discounts.
Touring demand stays strong and the Galway Oyster and Seafood Festival lifts a late-September weekend; I keep weekend rates firm and shorten stays to fit road trips.
The Christmas market in Eyre Square and university events lift some weekends, so I price those and keep a sensible floor rather than chasing guests with deep cuts.
Price Arts Festival and Race Week as the top bands with minimum stays.
Price Connemara homes for touring couples.
Use weekend pricing for the Latin Quarter.
Check registration and planning requirements.
Lower January and February 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 the listing explains driving times to Clifden, Kylemore and the Aran Islands ferry at Rossaveal, since touring guests plan their whole trip around those distances.
Busiest in Galway: July and August, spiking for the Galway International Arts Festival and Galway Race Week. July to early August: The Film Fleadh, the Arts Festival and Race Week at Ballybrit follow one another, so I price these three weeks at the top with minimum stays and no late discounts. Mid-August to September: Touring demand stays strong and the Galway Oyster and Seafood Festival lifts a late-September weekend; I keep weekend rates firm and shorten stays to fit road trips. 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.
Turning festival and race weeks into premium capacity events, then spreading a short high season using the Wild Atlantic Way, all while registering under Failte Ireland's short-term-let rules and Rent Pressure Zone planning tests. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Galway calendar before I make it. Mid-August to September: Touring demand stays strong and the Galway Oyster and Seafood Festival lifts a late-September weekend; I keep weekend rates firm and shorten stays to fit road trips.
Galway has two capacity weeks in a row: the Galway International Arts Festival and Race Week in July. Connemara and the Wild Atlantic Way spread demand across summer. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Galway.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Galway the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Connemara homes for touring couples. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Galway sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. July to early August: The Film Fleadh, the Arts Festival and Race Week at Ballybrit follow one another, so I price these three weeks at the top with minimum stays and no late discounts.

For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Galway, not the city. Use weekend pricing for the Latin Quarter. Next: lower January and February floors.
Clifden and Roundstone: The gateways to Connemara and the Sky Road, these suit touring couples; I price for two to four night stays and accept a short, sharp season. Latin Quarter and city centre and Salthill get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Galway, not the market average.
