Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals for Airbnb hosts, vacation rental owners and property managers in Interlaken, Switzerland, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1). In Interlaken, I price July and August as the peak and April and May and November as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Other OTA optimization is quoted per property after a short chat, because the scope depends on the number of properties and room types.

Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on other OTAs. I optimize your rental on Expedia and Hotels.com, Agoda, HomeToGo, Plum Guide and other platforms, one channel at a time, with parity checked.
What I plan around in Interlaken: the Jungfraujoch railway to the Top of Europe; Grindelwald, the Lauterbrunnen valley and the Schilthorn; paragliding, canyoning and adventure sports over the twin lakes; skiing across the First, Kleine Scheidegg and Muerren areas. Guests I price for: International adventure tourists and Asian tour groups on two to three summer nights, and week-long ski parties in winter around Interlaken and Grindelwald. Where I start: Running a true dual-season alpine curve with premium summer and ski peaks, floor-pricing the double shoulder, and factoring the local Kurtaxe tourist tax and any cantonal registration into rates.
Interlaken sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse for Oberland hosts with the Lauberhorn, Jungfrau Marathon and summer adventure peak as events, Saturday changeovers for ski chalets and short-stay rules for summer. Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia all show the same total including Kurtaxe.
The service in general is described on my other ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Interlaken.
Expedia Group ranks on content score, rate competitiveness and conversion. I complete the content, structure rate plans and promotions and audit the photos.
Agoda is strong in Asia-Pacific and growing elsewhere. I rebuild your profile, rooms and promotions for its traveler.
TripAdvisor and metasearch put your listing in front of travelers early. I keep rates, availability and your direct link right.
Aggregators and curated platforms send high-value guests when a listing meets their standards. I prepare each one and connect it through your channel manager.
“Interlaken is an adventure hub with two seasons. Summer brings Jungfraujoch visitors, paragliders and Asian tour groups on short stays, while winter brings week-long ski parties to Grindelwald. The Kurtaxe tourist tax applies. I run a dual-season curve and price summer short stays carefully.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Ski weeks around Grindelwald and Wengen are steady, and the Lauberhorn race weekend in January deserves its own rate; I use Saturday changeovers for chalets and shorter stays for central Interlaken.
Lifts close and high trails are still snowy, so I cut floors, open single nights and target long-haul Asian and Gulf travellers on rail passes who still visit the Jungfraujoch.
Paragliding, canyoning and the lake boats restart. I raise weekends first and let weekdays follow as tour groups arrive, keeping minimum stays short for itinerary travellers.
Every bed in the valley sells, so I stop last-minute discounts, hold two or three night minimums and price lake and Eiger views as clear premiums.
The Jungfrau Marathon in September and autumn hiking keep demand alive; I price that weekend high, then ease rates through October as the valley prepares for winter.
Many hotels close, so I keep a sensible floor and accept long stays from workers and travellers rather than discounting to chase short leisure trips.
Not every platform pays for every property. Before adding a channel I look at your market, property type and booking mix and tell you which are likely to earn their place. Then I optimize only those, and leave the rest alone.
Price July and August for short summer stays.
Price December to February ski weeks in Grindelwald.
Include Kurtaxe in total price.

A new other OTAs listing
You have just connected other OTAs and want it to rank and convert from the first weeks, not after months of guessing.
Views but few bookings
Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on other OTAs.
Commission without much return
You pay other OTAs commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on other OTAs and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the other OTAs listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for other OTAs: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your other OTAs account or through your channel manager, and explain each one so you can maintain it.
Step 4
About 30 days later I look at impressions, conversion and booking share on other OTAs and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Other OTA optimization per property after a short chat. You get a fixed scope and price before any work starts.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | Other OTA optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Other OTA | Quoted |
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!
Airbnb host
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 Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals in Interlaken, i optimize other OTAs alongside your other channels and check parity, so added reach never creates a conflict. Interlaken sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. September and October: The Jungfrau Marathon in September and autumn hiking keep demand alive; I price that weekend high, then ease rates through October as the valley prepares for winter.
Busiest in Interlaken: July and August for the lakes and mountains, with a second peak from December to February for skiing. December to March: Ski weeks around Grindelwald and Wengen are steady, and the Lauberhorn race weekend in January deserves its own rate; I use Saturday changeovers for chalets and shorter stays for central Interlaken. July and August: Every bed in the valley sells, so I stop last-minute discounts, hold two or three night minimums and price lake and Eiger views as clear premiums. For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, on other OTAs, I line up promotions, rate plans and content with these windows so visibility peaks when demand does.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i write content and photo order on other OTAs for the guests who actually search for Interlaken. International adventure tourists and Asian tour groups on two to three summer nights, and week-long ski parties in winter around Interlaken and Grindelwald. Demand is driven by Grindelwald, the Lauterbrunnen valley and the Schilthorn and paragliding, canyoning and adventure sports over the twin lakes.
Central Interlaken (Hoheweg, Matten): Flat, walkable and close to both stations, so I price for short summer itineraries and adventure bookers, with modest winter rates. Lauterbrunnen and Wengen and Grindelwald get their own treatment. For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i write location content, photos and amenity highlights on other OTAs around the specific part of Interlaken the property is in.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, the first changes on other OTAs are content completeness and the cover photo, because those decide whether a Interlaken traveler clicks. Set shoulder floors. Next: price December to February ski weeks in Grindelwald.
Whether the property is priced against the right village, because Wengen and Murren are car-free and Lauterbrunnen guests compare differently from those in central Interlaken. For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i check this on other OTAs first, because it decides whether the listing is allowed to rank at all.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals in Interlaken, this is how I would approach it. com, Vrbo and Expedia all show the same total including Kurtaxe. I set up PriceLabs or Wheelhouse for Oberland hosts with the Lauberhorn, Jungfrau Marathon and summer adventure peak as events, Saturday changeovers for ski chalets and short-stay rules for summer. We start in the chat, and I confirm the scope and the price before any work begins.
For Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals, i price properties for a living, so content, rates and promotions are tuned together and not in isolation. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Interlaken and work remotely in Central European Time (UTC+1). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price July and August for short summer stays.
Other OTA optimization is quoted per property after a short chat, because the scope depends on the number of properties and room types. The scope of Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Interlaken I would start from December to March: Ski weeks around Grindelwald and Wengen are steady, and the Lauberhorn race weekend in January deserves its own rate; I use Saturday changeovers for chalets and shorter stays for central Interlaken. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Interlaken.
Yes. Expedia, Agoda and Other OTA Expert in Interlaken is delivered remotely and scheduled in Central European Time (UTC+1), and 100+ properties in and around Interlaken have been optimized, including in areas such as Central Interlaken (Hoheweg, Matten). I implement it live on Zoom in your other OTAs extranet or through your channel manager, in your time zone. Start in the chat or by email and tell me what you run in Interlaken.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Interlaken the first gains from Expedia, Agoda and other OTA optimization for rentals usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price December to February ski weeks in Grindelwald. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
