Overview

What is hotel revenue management consulting in Innsbruck?

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 Innsbruck. Innsbruck and Tyrol are ski-week markets with a solid summer. Holiday weeks sell to European and UK groups, summer brings hikers and cyclists, and inter-seasons are quiet. Tyrol also has strict rules on leisure residences. Innsbruck itself also works as a city break with the Christmas markets and easy access to several ski areas, so a flat in town needs a different strategy from a chalet in the valleys.

If you own a flat in Innsbruck or a chalet in a Tyrolean valley, I confirm how it may be let, map the European school holidays onto your calendar, and design separate winter, summer and inter-season plans so each week of the year has a clear target.

The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Innsbruck.

How I price it

My Innsbruck calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. Late December to early JanuaryPeak

    Christmas, New Year and the Four Hills ski jumping at Bergisel stack together. I price this fortnight as the top band and open it early with seven night stays in the valleys.

  2. February to MarchPeak

    German, Dutch and UK school holiday weeks overlap, so I price each week by which holidays fall inside it rather than treating February as one flat block.

  3. April to JuneLow

    After Easter the lifts close and Innsbruck turns into a city stop. I drop minimums to one or two nights and price town flats for passing travellers.

  4. July to SeptemberHigh

    Hikers, cyclists and families fill the Stubai and Ötztal valleys. I run weekly family pricing in the mountains and short-stay rates in Innsbruck itself.

  5. October to mid-DecemberShoulder

    Glacier openings and the Sölden World Cup opener wake the market up in late October. I lift those weekends and keep the rest flexible until Advent.

Where I price differently in Innsbruck

Altstadt and Wilten
Innsbruck's old town and the Bergisel side work as a city break with ski access. I price shorter stays and lift Christmas market and ski jumping weekends.
Stubai and Zillertal
Classic ski and hiking valleys with family weeks. I price by holiday week in winter and by the week with family rates in summer.
Ötztal and Paznaun
Sölden and Ischgl carry season openings, closing concerts and high-end ski weeks. I treat event weekends as premiums and keep long minimums in the peak.

What I check first in Innsbruck

  • Whether the property may legally be let to tourists under Tyrol's rules on leisure residences and the local registration, because some flats can only be let in limited ways and that changes every number.
  • How the ski or summer listing shows the bus, gondola or ski-bus access, since Tyrolean guests choose by distance to the lift before they compare price.
  • Whether the calendar knows the holiday dates of Germany, the Netherlands and the UK, because one wrongly priced holiday week in Tyrol matters more than a whole month of low season.
