Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Gothenburg, Sweden, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1). In Gothenburg, I price Late June to mid-August as the peak and January to March as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue.

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 Gothenburg: Summer archipelago season; Way Out West festival; Liseberg and Christmas season; Volvo and industrial business travel. Guests I price for: Nordic and German families on 3 to 5 night stays, business guests midweek. Where I start: Summer premiums, festival weeks, and winter floors.
From years in hotel revenue I know a port and industry city lives on its weekday base. For Gothenburg hotels I review corporate agreements with the large employers, fence rooms for big trade fairs at the Svenska Massan, and build summer leisure packages around Liseberg.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Gothenburg.
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.
“Gothenburg has a warm, busy summer, Way Out West in August, Liseberg's Christmas season and steady business travel from Volvo and industry. The archipelago draws families. Winter outside Christmas is quiet. I price summer and festival weeks and use business travel for weekdays.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
I keep weekend floors honest and rely on trade fairs at the Svenska Massan and Volvo-linked visitors midweek, opening weekly discounts for consultants on longer project stays.
The Goteborgsvarvet half marathon in May and spring conferences give me a few strong dates; I price them individually and leave the remaining weeks flexible for shorter city breaks.
Midsummer, the Gothia Cup youth football week and archipelago season stack up, so I set longer minimums for family homes and stop discounting gaps that larger groups will fill.
The culture festival and Way Out West keep August busy, then business travel takes over. I shift weekday rates up and soften weekends from September.
Liseberg's Christmas market lifts Friday and Saturday nights, so I price those weekends above the rest of winter and keep weekdays aimed at corporate and shopping visitors.
Price Way Out West weekend as a summer premium.
Add Liseberg Christmas season weekends.
Set weekday business rates.
Price archipelago-access homes for summer families.
Lower November to February floors outside Christmas.
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 |

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!

Busiest in Gothenburg: June to August, Way Out West in August, and Gothenburg Culture Festival. Late June to mid-August: Midsummer, the Gothia Cup youth football week and archipelago season stack up, so I set longer minimums for family homes and stop discounting gaps that larger groups will fill. Late August to October: The culture festival and Way Out West keep August busy, then business travel takes over. I shift weekday rates up and soften weekends from September. 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 listing presents tram connections to Liseberg, the Svenska Massan and Lindholmen, since visitors here judge location by the tram line rather than by district name.
Set weekday business rates. Next: lower November to February floors outside Christmas. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Gothenburg 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 Gothenburg: November to February. January to March: I keep weekend floors honest and rely on trade fairs at the Svenska Massan and Volvo-linked visitors midweek, opening weekly discounts for consultants on longer project stays. April to mid-June: The Goteborgsvarvet half marathon in May and spring conferences give me a few strong dates; I price them individually and leave the remaining weeks flexible for shorter city breaks.
Business weekday demand ignored and winter priced like summer. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Gothenburg, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Gothenburg, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Gothenburg sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. April to mid-June: The Goteborgsvarvet half marathon in May and spring conferences give me a few strong dates; I price them individually and leave the remaining weeks flexible for shorter city breaks.
Linne and Haga: Cafe streets near Slottsskogen, where Way Out West is held; I price festival nights and summer weekends highest here and keep winter weekdays modest. Lindholmen and Eriksberg and The southern archipelago (Styrso, Vrango) 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.
Volvo and industrial business travel, Summer archipelago season and Way Out West festival are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Gothenburg. November and December: Liseberg's Christmas market lifts Friday and Saturday nights, so I price those weekends above the rest of winter and keep weekdays aimed at corporate and shopping visitors.

I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Gothenburg and work remotely in Central European Time (UTC+1). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: add Liseberg Christmas season weekends.
Hotel revenue management plans are priced monthly by hotel size, with Core from $650 a month, Plus adding channel and segment optimization and Pro adding forecasting and a monthly strategy call. They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue. The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Gothenburg I would start from late June to mid-August: Midsummer, the Gothia Cup youth football week and archipelago season stack up, so I set longer minimums for family homes and stop discounting gaps that larger groups will fill.
