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 Gotland. Gotland runs on two famous weeks and a Swedish summer in between. Almedalen brings politicians, lobbyists and journalists to Visby around the turn of June and July, and Medieval Week fills the walled town in early August. Every guest arrives by ferry or plane, so bookings follow ferry capacity. I set event weeks first, then build the family summer around them.
For a Gotland owner I review last summer's booking dates against the event weeks and the ferry, show where demand was underpriced, and write a season plan with Almedalen, Medieval Week and July each set apart. It suits owners who handle their own bookings but want an outside view before opening next summer.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Gotland.
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.
Gotland hotels often run with seasonal staff and owners who wear many hats, so a pricing plan has to be simple. I review event pricing, group policy for political organisations and the length-of-stay rules in Medieval Week, then check whether the winter opening pays. I leave a calendar the team can follow without me.
I start by laying out last year's Almedalen rates beside July rates, which shows quickly whether the event week was priced as the peak it is.
Spring cyclists, Ascension and Whitsun weekends and graduation season on the mainland bring short trips, so I sell weekends and three-night stays and keep summer weeks unbroken.
Organisations book whole houses for the political week near the harbour and Almedalen park; I set a dedicated rate and stay rule, and prefer one clean booking over several fragmented ones.
Sea stacks, Sudersand beach and the Bergman link attract a slower, design-minded guest who stays a week; the extra ferry hop means I avoid short summer stays here.
My full Gotland calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Gotland.
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.
Tell me about your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks, in the chat or by email. 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 scoping chat you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

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 Almedalen dates were handled last time: whether the house went to an organisation early, at what price, and whether the same contact wants it again, since repeat event bookers are valuable.
Busiest in Gotland: July and August, with Almedalen Week and Medieval Week the highest. Medieval Week in August: Visby fills with costumed visitors, markets and tournaments, and I price the walled town hardest while lifting nearby villages for guests who could not find a bed inside the wall. Almedalen week: Organisations book whole houses for the political week near the harbour and Almedalen park; I set a dedicated rate and stay rule, and prefer one clean booking over several fragmented ones. 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.
Event-week premiums, short-season pricing and ferry-dependent minimum stays. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Gotland calendar before I make it. July: Swedish industrial holiday weeks and families from Stockholm keep demand high, so I hold weekly stays on cottages and check ferry availability before pushing any rate higher.
Gotland runs on two famous weeks and a Swedish summer in between. Almedalen brings politicians, lobbyists and journalists to Visby around the turn of June and July, and Medieval Week fills the walled town in early August. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Gotland.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Gotland the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: open Almedalen dates early for organisations that book whole houses. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Gotland sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb and local agencies. May to mid-June: Spring cyclists, Ascension and Whitsun weekends and graduation season on the mainland bring short trips, so I sell weekends and three-night stays and keep summer weeks unbroken. For hotel revenue management consulting in Gotland, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
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 Gotland, not the city. Price homes inside the Visby wall above the rest of the island. Next: set lower floors from late August, when Swedish schools restart.
Tofta and the west coast: Sandy beaches south of Visby suit families with children who want both beach and town, so I price it close behind Visby in July and lower afterwards. Visby inside the wall and Fårö get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Gotland, not the market average.
