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 Kotor. Kotor's old town is small, stone-built and cruise-pressured. Summer demand is intense, overnight stock inside the walls is scarce and guests stay two to four nights. Registration and categorisation are mandatory. I price old-town stock at a premium and extend the season along the bay.
For a Kotor owner I separate the scarce old-town product from bay and Tivat homes, plan the summer around cruise days and events, and extend the season into spring and autumn. I also check registration, tourist tax and categorisation before pricing.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Kotor.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The bay is quiet, so I keep old-town homes at a low floor for winter travellers and price the Kotor winter carnival in February and New Year slightly higher.
Spring brings the first cruise ships and hikers on the Ladder of Kotor, so I open the season with short stays and modest rates while watching cruise schedules.
Warm weather and growing yacht traffic at Porto Montenegro lift demand, so I raise weekends and extend stays to three nights in the old town.
I price every night at full rate, treat Boka Night in August and the Fašinada in Perast in July as premium dates, and hold three-night minimums inside the walls.
Warm seas and fewer crowds make September excellent, so I hold it near July and ease October weekdays as cruise calls continue and the bay calms.
Price July and August as the top season.
Price old-town homes at a premium.
Price Perast and bay homes for longer stays.
Add Boka Night as an event premium.
Keep registration current.
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.
Thirty minutes on your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks. 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 discovery call 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 the listing handles cruise days, since old-town streets become crowded by day and guests value quiet evenings, a rooftop or a view of the fortress more than location alone.
Busiest in Kotor: July and August for the bay and coast, with warm June and September shoulders. June: Warm weather and growing yacht traffic at Porto Montenegro lift demand, so I raise weekends and extend stays to three nights in the old town. July to August: I price every night at full rate, treat Boka Night in August and the Fašinada in Perast in July as premium dates, and hold three-night minimums inside the walls. 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.
Charging premium summer rates on scarce stone old-town stock in a cruise-pressured bay, extending the shoulder along the coast, and completing the mandatory tourist registration and categorisation. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Kotor calendar before I make it. July to August: I price every night at full rate, treat Boka Night in August and the Fašinada in Perast in July as premium dates, and hold three-night minimums inside the walls.
Kotor's old town is small, stone-built and cruise-pressured. Summer demand is intense, overnight stock inside the walls is scarce and guests stay two to four nights. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Kotor.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Kotor the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price old-town homes at a premium. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Kotor sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. June: Warm weather and growing yacht traffic at Porto Montenegro lift demand, so I raise weekends and extend stays to three nights in the old town. For hotel revenue management consulting in Kotor, 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 Kotor, not the city. Price Perast and bay homes for longer stays. Next: keep registration current.
Tivat and Porto Montenegro: Yachting marina and airport with upmarket restaurants; I price for yacht crews, owners and luxury guests, with steadier shoulder months than Kotor. Kotor old town (Stari Grad) and Dobrota and Prčanj get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Kotor, not the market average.
