Outsourced Hotel Revenue Manager in Lanzarote at a glance
Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Lanzarote, Spain, one to one, remotely and in Western European Time (UTC+0).

What is outsourced hotel revenue management in Lanzarote?
Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Lanzarote: Year-round winter-sun demand from the UK, Germany and Ireland; Kitesurfing and windsurfing at Corralejo and Sotavento; Timanfaya and César Manrique sights; Family resort areas in Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise. Guests I price for: Northern European couples and families on 7 to 14 night stays, plus remote workers on monthly stays. Where I start: Winter-sun premiums, school-holiday weeks and Canary Islands holiday rental registration.
For hotels and aparthotels on these two islands I work on tour operator allotments and release dates, the winter long-stay mix, all-inclusive and half-board pricing, and summer demand from mainland Spain, using my years running revenue in five-star chain hotels where operator business shaped the whole year.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Lanzarote.

Outsourced hotel revenue management in Lanzarote: how I approach it
When I hold the revenue chair for a hotel on Lanzarote or Fuerteventura, winter is the season that pays the bills. I manage tour operator allotments from Britain, Germany and Ireland, price long stays from January to March against shorter Christmas and half-term bookings, and switch the focus to Spanish families in July and August. All-inclusive and half-board rates need their own logic, not a flat supplement.
I start by reviewing last winter by source market and board basis, so I can see which operators and packages delivered the best net rate per room night.
January to MarchPeak
Winter sun is at its strongest, so I protect the half-term weeks, price long stays carefully against short ones and keep monthly offers limited to January and early February.
April to JuneShoulder
Easter brings a last winter-sun spike, then demand softens, so I add Ironman Lanzarote dates in May and offer shorter stays to Spanish and European couples.
Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen
Lanzarote's family and couple resorts sell winter sun and easy beaches, so I price school holidays highest and allow longer stays in January and February.
When outsourced hotel revenue management makes sense in Lanzarote
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.

FAQ
11 questions about outsourced hotel revenue management in Lanzarote
When is Lanzarote busiest, and how do you price outsourced hotel revenue management around it?
Busiest in Lanzarote: Mid-December to April for winter sun, plus July and August for Spanish families. January to March: Winter sun is at its strongest, so I protect the half-term weeks, price long stays carefully against short ones and keep monthly offers limited to January and early February. July to August: Spanish families and wind sports visitors fill the islands, so I lift prices for school holidays and price Sotavento and Corralejo homes for kite and windsurf guests. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
What do you check first on a Lanzarote property when it comes to outsourced hotel revenue management?
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of it. Whether air conditioning, heating and a sheltered terrace are clearly listed, since wind is part of island life and winter guests want to know they can sit outside comfortably.
What is the first pricing move you would make in Lanzarote?
Lift July and August for Spanish school holidays. Next: price Corralejo homes by walking distance to the dunes, beaches and kite schools. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Lanzarote property usually leaks the most.
What do you do in Lanzarote's quiet months?
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Lanzarote: May to June and October to November. September to November: Northern Europeans return slowly, so I ease rates for autumn half-terms and open longer winter bookings without giving away December dates too early. April to June: Easter brings a last winter-sun spike, then demand softens, so I add Ironman Lanzarote dates in May and offer shorter stays to Spanish and European couples.
What mistakes do you see most often in Lanzarote?
Long winter stays booked at full nightly rates or with no discount ladder and may, June and November left without a plan. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Lanzarote, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
Which booking channels matter most in Lanzarote?
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Lanzarote, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Lanzarote sells mostly through Booking.com, Airbnb, Vrbo and tour operators. April to June: Easter brings a last winter-sun spike, then demand softens, so I add Ironman Lanzarote dates in May and offer shorter stays to Spanish and European couples.
Which parts of Lanzarote do you treat differently for outsourced hotel revenue management?
Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen: Lanzarote's family and couple resorts sell winter sun and easy beaches, so I price school holidays highest and allow longer stays in January and February. Corralejo and Costa Calma and Jandía get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Which dates and events in Lanzarote do you price first?
Family resort areas in Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise, Year-round winter-sun demand from the UK, Germany and Ireland and Kitesurfing and windsurfing at Corralejo and Sotavento are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Lanzarote. December: Christmas and New Year sell well to families from Britain, Ireland and Germany, so I open these weeks early and set minimum stays across the holiday period.
Why hire a consultant for outsourced hotel revenue management in Lanzarote instead of an agency or an in-house hire?
For outsourced hotel revenue management, you get one experienced person who knows your numbers, with a small team and a tool stack behind me, and no account-manager layer in between. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Lanzarote and work remotely in Western European Time (UTC+0). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: offer monthly rates in January and February for remote workers and long-stay guests.
How much does outsourced hotel revenue management in Lanzarote cost, and how do I start?
Hotel revenue management plans are priced monthly by hotel size, with Core from $650 a month, Plus adding channel and segment optimization and Pro adding forecasting and a monthly strategy call. They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue. The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Lanzarote I would start from July to August: Spanish families and wind sports visitors fill the islands, so I lift prices for school holidays and price Sotavento and Corralejo homes for kite and windsurf guests. To start, open the chat or email me with your property type and size in Lanzarote.
