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 Gran Canaria. Gran Canaria is a long-stay winter island. Scandinavians, Britons and Germans come for two or three weeks to the south, while Las Palmas has become a year-round base for remote workers. Carnival and the Pride weeks in Maspalomas add sharp peaks. I set the price by stay length first, then by event, and I keep the south and the capital on separate curves.
For a Gran Canaria owner I review compliance, the long-stay structure, the Carnival and Pride dates and whether the flat really belongs to the southern resort market or to the Las Palmas city market. The plan then sets targets for winter weeks, monthly stays and the quieter early summer.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Gran Canaria.
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.
In consulting reviews for Gran Canaria hotels I often find long-stay discounts that apply across Christmas, or Pride and Carnival priced like ordinary weeks. I test operator contracts, the length-of-stay structure and the share sold to Scandinavian and British guests, then compare the south coast resorts with Las Palmas city hotels. The owner gets a clear plan by season and event.
My first step is a chart of winter stays by length beside the event dates, which shows where discounts cut into the strongest weeks.
Carnival in Las Palmas and Maspalomas and then Easter keep demand strong, so I price event weeks individually and ease prices once Easter passes.
Maspalomas Pride lifts a few days in May, otherwise demand slows, so I price those dates high and offer shorter stays to Spanish and European visitors.
Quieter harbours popular with Scandinavian winter visitors, so I price for long stays and stress the calm, sea views and walkable cafés.
My full Gran Canaria calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Gran Canaria.
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 stay length is priced, because many winter guests stay two or three weeks and the discount ladder often leaves money on the table or blocks short peak stays.
Busiest in Gran Canaria: November to April for winter sun, plus Carnival in Las Palmas and Maspalomas. November to February: Winter Pride, Christmas and the main winter-sun months fill the south, so I hold long-stay rates firm and keep the holiday weeks free from cheap monthly bookings. March to April: Carnival in Las Palmas and Maspalomas and then Easter keep demand strong, so I price event weeks individually and ease prices once Easter passes. 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.
Long winter stays priced by length, Carnival and Pride premiums, and Canary holiday rental rules. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Gran Canaria calendar before I make it. July to October: Spanish families and city visitors keep the island going, so I price weekends in Las Palmas firmly and slowly raise rates in the south as winter approaches.
Gran Canaria is a long-stay winter island. Scandinavians, Britons and Germans come for two or three weeks to the south, while Las Palmas has become a year-round base for remote workers. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Gran Canaria.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Gran Canaria the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Las Palmas and Maspalomas Carnival weeks as event premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Gran Canaria sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb, Vrbo and tour operators. July to October: Spanish families and city visitors keep the island going, so I price weekends in Las Palmas firmly and slowly raise rates in the south as winter approaches. For hotel revenue management consulting in Gran Canaria, 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 Gran Canaria, not the city. Add Maspalomas Pride in spring and Winter Pride in November. Next: lower May and June floors and sell short stays to Spanish weekenders.
Las Palmas (Las Canteras and Vegueta): A real city with a beach and remote workers all year, so I use monthly rates for workers and shorter stays for city visitors at weekends. Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas and Puerto de Mogán and Arguineguín get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Gran Canaria, not the market average.

Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: add Maspalomas Pride in spring and Winter Pride in November.
