“Lafayette and Baton Rouge are event towns. Festival International and Mardi Gras fill spring, LSU football fills autumn Saturdays in Baton Rouge, and July and August are hot and quiet. I stack event premiums and use midweek pricing to fill the gaps.”

Mardi Gras parades in Lafayette and Baton Rouge lift February weekends. I price parade weekends as events and keep midweek rates flexible for state government and business visitors.
Festival International fills downtown Lafayette in late April, and crawfish season brings weekend visitors. I price festival weekend highest and keep two-night minimums through spring.
Heat, humidity and the start of hurricane season slow leisure trips. I lower weekend rates, allow single nights and target oil and gas crews, hospital visitors and families coming home to Acadiana.
LSU home weekends dominate Baton Rouge, while Festivals Acadiens et Creoles brings October visitors to Lafayette. I price both cities separately and open football dates early.
Holiday visits and bowl travel create pockets of demand. I keep rates moderate, price Christmas week carefully, and watch for postseason games.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Lafayette needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For Lafayette and Baton Rouge owners I separate the two markets first, then build a calendar around festivals, Mardi Gras, LSU football and the quieter summer months. The result is a clear event plan and a stronger base rate between events.
In PriceLabs or Wheelhouse I load Festival International, Festivals Acadiens et Creoles, Mardi Gras parade weekends and the LSU home schedule as separate events, add two-night minimums on those dates, and set gap rules for short stays. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com then all reflect the same event pricing.
For hotels in Lafayette and Baton Rouge I work on event rate fences, group blocks for visiting football fans and festival bands, and midweek pricing for oil and gas, medical and state government travel. My comp sets are built by area, because downtown, campus and Interstate 10 hotels serve very different guests.

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!

As premium weekends with 2-night minimums, opened when the schedule is released.
A large spring music festival in Lafayette. Alaa prices it as a premium weekend.
No. Lafayette depends more on festivals, culture and family visits, while Baton Rouge depends heavily on LSU football and state business. I use separate comps and event calendars, then decide the base rate for each property based on its own location and guests.
I lower weekend rates, allow shorter stays and look for midweek business, medical and family travel. Summer is about keeping the calendar active at sensible prices, not holding out for festival or football demand that will not arrive until later in the year.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Lafayette, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Central Time (UTC-6).
