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 Madeira. Madeira has a calendar unlike mainland Portugal. New Year's Eve fireworks are the top event, Carnival and the Flower Festival fill spring, hikers come for the levadas and Ponta do Sol's digital-nomad community keeps monthly demand steady. I price New Year aggressively and build nomad rates.
For a Madeira owner I look first at what the home really sells: a Funchal bay view for New Year, a quiet base for levada walkers, or a monthly workspace in Ponta do Sol. Then I check the AL details and rebuild the calendar so the island's festival dates and its steady winter-sun demand are each priced on purpose.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Madeira.
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.
Winter-sun visitors and walkers keep Madeira busier than mainland Portugal, so I hold firm weekly rates and add a premium for Carnival in Funchal when it falls in February.
The Flower Festival, the Madeira Island Ultra Trail and Easter bring strong demand, so I price those weekends individually and set five-night minimums on the busiest dates.
The Atlantic Festival fireworks in June and summer holidays keep demand steady, so I price weekends and sea-view homes higher and offer weekly stays to families.
The Wine Festival in early September and warm autumn weather help, so I price harvest weekends up and offer longer stays to remote workers in the quieter weeks.
Christmas lights and the New Year's Eve fireworks over Funchal bay are the year's top moment, so I open these dates early with long minimum stays and firm rates.
Price New Year's Eve as the top band with 4 to 5-night minimums.
Add Carnival and the Flower Festival as spring premiums.
Build monthly rates for remote workers.
Price ocean views and terraces higher.
Keep AL numbers visible.
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.

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 sea views and terraces are priced, since many Funchal homes compete mainly on views, and the difference between a view and no view is often underpriced.
Busiest in Madeira: New Year's Eve fireworks, Carnival and Flower Festival in spring, and July to August. December: Christmas lights and the New Year's Eve fireworks over Funchal bay are the year's top moment, so I open these dates early with long minimum stays and firm rates. March to May: The Flower Festival, the Madeira Island Ultra Trail and Easter bring strong demand, so I price those weekends individually and set five-night minimums on the busiest dates. 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.
New Year premiums with minimum stays, monthly nomad rates, and AL compliance. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Madeira calendar before I make it. September to November: The Wine Festival in early September and warm autumn weather help, so I price harvest weekends up and offer longer stays to remote workers in the quieter weeks.
New Year's Eve fireworks are the top event, Carnival and the Flower Festival fill spring, hikers come for the levadas and Ponta do Sol's digital-nomad community keeps monthly demand steady. I price New Year aggressively and build nomad rates. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Madeira.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Madeira the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Carnival and the Flower Festival as spring premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Madeira sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. June to August: The Atlantic Festival fireworks in June and summer holidays keep demand steady, so I price weekends and sea-view homes higher and offer weekly stays to families. For hotel revenue management consulting in Madeira, 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 Madeira, not the city. Build monthly rates for remote workers. Next: keep AL numbers visible.
Santana and the north coast: Green, wild and close to the hikes; I price for walkers and nature lovers, with longer stays rewarded and winter rates softer. Funchal (Zona Velha and Lido) and Ponta do Sol and Calheta get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Madeira, not the market average.
