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 Lake Ohrid. Lake Ohrid has a short, warm season with a strong family feel. Guests from North Macedonia, the wider Balkans and the diaspora fill July and August, the Ohrid Summer Festival brings concerts to the old town, and Struga and Saint Naum spread demand along the shore. Outside summer it is quiet. I price the August diaspora weeks first and keep simple rules for the rest.
For a Lake Ohrid owner I review registration, tax and pricing, then plan the short summer, the diaspora weeks and the long quiet season. I compare the property with real comps in the same part of the lake rather than the whole region.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Lake Ohrid.
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.
Many Ohrid hotels are family businesses that set one summer rate and one winter rate and adjust by feel. I review whether those bands reflect real demand, how group and agency contracts are priced, and whether breakfast, half board and lake-view rooms earn enough. The result is a simple calendar and a set of rules the owners can keep using.
My first step is to compare the hotel's August rates with those of three or four properties guests genuinely compare it with.
Spring brings walkers, culture visitors and Easter holidays. I raise weekend rates around Orthodox Easter and May holidays and keep weekdays modest.
The summer festival opens and the lake fills with swimmers. I lift rates for concert nights and move toward three-night minimums on lakefront stays.
A separate town with its own beaches and poetry festival, popular with regional visitors. I price it below Ohrid but build its own event calendar.
My full Lake Ohrid calendar, areas, pricing moves and the mistakes I fix are on the revenue management consultant page for Lake Ohrid.
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.
Tell me about your property, your market and where you think revenue leaks, in the chat or by email. 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 scoping chat 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.

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. Access and parking for old-town houses: steep lanes and limited parking matter to families with cars, so the listing must explain them clearly.
Busiest in Lake Ohrid: July and August, with the Ohrid Summer Festival. July: The summer festival opens and the lake fills with swimmers. I lift rates for concert nights and move toward three-night minimums on lakefront stays. August: Diaspora families, regional visitors and festival guests make August the year's top month. I open it early and price every week close to its ceiling. 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.
Summer peak pricing, diaspora August demand and local registration and tourist tax.

South shore toward Saint Naum: Lagadin, Peštani and Trpejca offer beaches and quiet, suiting families who drive. I price lake access and parking as the main advantages.
