Overview

What is outsourced hotel revenue management in Girona?

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 Girona: Temps de Flors flower festival; Game of Thrones filming tourism; Girona cycling scene; Costa Brava calas and coves. Guests I price for: cyclists and coastal families on 4 to 7 night stays split between the Barri Vell old town and Cadaques, Begur and Calella de Palafrugell. Where I start: spreading demand between the walled city and the coast, HUTG registration numbers for every Catalan holiday let, and summer minimum stays across the Costa Brava beach weeks.

For hotels in Girona and on the Costa Brava, my five-star background helps price cycling packages, summer weeks and festival dates, and choose comp sets that reflect the real difference between a Barri Vell boutique and a beachfront resort near Tossa or Lloret.

The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Girona.

Included

What I run for a hotel on a monthly plan in Girona

Daily rates and restrictions

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.

  • BAR and rate-plan strategy by room type
  • Seasonal, event and day-of-week rules
  • Length-of-stay and minimum-stay restrictions
  • Closed-to-arrival and stop-sell logic

Distribution and OTAs

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.

  • OTA and metasearch optimization
  • Rate-parity checks and promotions
  • Segmentation across OTA, direct and corporate
  • Channel manager and PMS mapping

Forecasts and budgets

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.

  • 12-month demand forecast
  • Annual budget and re-forecast
  • Group, corporate and event rate strategy
  • Pace and displacement analysis

Reporting and strategy calls

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.

  • Monthly performance summary
  • ADR, occupancy and RevPAR reporting
  • Monthly strategy call (Pro)
  • Quarterly business review (Pro)
Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Girona

“Girona and the Costa Brava split demand between a walled city and a coast of coves. Temps de Flors in May and the cycling community keep Girona busy in spring, while coastal families fill summer. Every Catalan holiday let needs its HUTG registration number.”

How I price it

My Girona calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. November to FebruaryLow

    Winter is quiet in both city and coast. I lower floors, offer monthly stays in Girona and keep coastal homes closed or on longer minimums.

  2. March to AprilShoulder

    Cyclists return for training and Easter brings families. I target riders with bike storage and four-night stays in Girona.

  3. MayHigh

    Temps de Flors fills the Barri Vell. I price festival dates as premiums and keep cycling demand strong through the month.

  4. June to AugustPeak

    Families fill the Costa Brava coves. I run weekly stays with fixed changeovers in Cadaques, Begur and Calella and price Cap Roig concert nights higher.

  5. September to OctoberShoulder

    Warm sea and cycling events keep demand alive. I relax coastal minimums and raise Girona weekends for riders.

Where I price differently in Girona

Barri Vell, Girona
The walled old town and its Game of Thrones streets attract couples and cyclists. I price it for long weekends and protect Temps de Flors.
Cadaques
A remote, artistic village with luxury summer demand. I price weekly stays high in July and August and relax minimums in shoulder months.
Begur and Calella de Palafrugell
Coves and Cap Roig concerts drive summer. I price concert nights and August weeks as premiums.

What I check first in Girona

  • The HUTG registration number and its display on every listing, which Catalonia requires for every holiday let and which platforms and inspectors increasingly check.
  • Whether the home offers secure bike storage and a workshop space, since Girona's cycling community pays more for proper facilities.
  • How the coastal home handles summer changeovers, because weekly stays and cleaning logistics on the Costa Brava need clear rules.

Who it is for

When outsourced hotel revenue management makes sense in Girona

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.

How it works

From first message to results in Girona

  1. 01

    Tell me about the hotel

    Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.

  2. 02

    I build the strategy

    I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.

  3. 03

    I price it every day

    I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.

Step 4

We review each month

You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.

Pricing
