An Airbnb revenue forecast is a month-by-month projection of occupancy, ADR and revenue for one property, set beside comparable listings. Buyers use it to test a purchase, operators use it to check an arbitrage lease, and hosts use it to set targets for a live listing.
What I plan around in Lafayette: Festival International de Louisiane; LSU football at Tiger Stadium; Mardi Gras celebrations; Cajun and Zydeco music and the Atchafalaya Basin. Guests I price for: Festival-goers and LSU fans on 2 to 3 night stays around downtown Lafayette, the Oil Center and Baton Rouge near campus. Where I start: Event-driven premiums stacking festivals and game days, two-night weekend minimums, and midweek pricing through a soft high-summer lull.
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.
The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue forecast page; this page covers how I apply it in Lafayette.
I project occupancy, ADR and revenue for each month in conservative, realistic and optimistic cases, with annual totals, RevPAR and seasonality.
I choose comparable listings by hand and remove inactive ones and outliers, so the benchmark is real and not a postcode average.
For a purchase or an arbitrage lease I set revenue against rent or mortgage and costs, and show the occupancy you need to break even.
A clear report with my reasoning for each assumption, suitable for partners, investors or lenders.
“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.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
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.

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.

Busiest in Lafayette: February to April for Mardi Gras and Festival International, and September to November for LSU football, spiking on Tiger Stadium game weekends. April to May: 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. September to November: 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. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i model these windows month by month, so peak months carry the revenue they realistically can and not an annual average.
For Airbnb revenue forecast, i project the quiet months separately, which is what shows whether a purchase or an arbitrage lease survives them. Quietest in Lafayette: July to August, the hottest and quietest weeks. December: Holiday visits and bowl travel create pockets of demand. I keep rates moderate, price Christmas week carefully, and watch for postseason games. June to August: 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.
Downtown Lafayette: Walkable to Festival International stages, restaurants and live music. I price these homes highest in spring and use two-night minimums on festival weekend. The Oil Center and Baton Rouge near LSU get their own treatment. For Airbnb revenue forecast, i choose the comp set from the part of Lafayette your property is actually in, and remove inactive listings and outliers.

How far the home is from Tiger Stadium, downtown Lafayette or the Oil Center, since walking access and parking can matter more than square footage on event weekends.
Festival-goers and LSU fans on 2 to 3 night stays around downtown Lafayette, the Oil Center and Baton Rouge near campus.
