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 Mammoth Cave. Mammoth Cave and the Kentucky Lakes are family summer markets. Cave tours bring short visits, while Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley bring week-long lake house stays. The Corvette Museum adds visitors in Bowling Green. Winter is quiet. The mistake I see most is one strategy for both types of home. A lake house and a cabin near the cave entrance attract different guests, book at different times and need completely different stay rules.
For owners here I sort the property first: cave-trip cabin, lake house, or something in between. Then I build a calendar with summer weeks, angler springs and autumn weekends, check that fees and minimum stays fit the guest, and show where the year is losing nights.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Mammoth Cave.
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.

Cave tours still run in winter, so I keep cave-area cabins bookable for one or two nights at a lean floor, while lake homes move to monthly offers.
Spring crappie and bass fishing fills Kentucky Lake weekends before families arrive, so I price lakefront homes with boat parking for anglers and keep minimum stays short.
I hold Saturday-to-Saturday weeks on lakefront homes, publish the summer calendar early for families who plan around school dates, and let cave-area cabins take shorter fill-in stays.
Labor Day and foliage weekends in Land Between the Lakes keep demand strong, so I keep weekend premiums but drop weekly requirements once school is back.
Hunting and Thanksgiving family trips carry a few dates, which I price individually before the calendar falls back to its winter floor.

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.

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. What the dock, slip and boat-trailer parking situation is, since lake guests filter by these before price and an undescribed dock is a missed premium.
Busiest in Mammoth Cave: June to August for cave tours and lake season, with October foliage and autumn weekends extending demand. June to August: I hold Saturday-to-Saturday weeks on lakefront homes, publish the summer calendar early for families who plan around school dates, and let cave-area cabins take shorter fill-in stays. September to October: Labor Day and foliage weekends in Land Between the Lakes keep demand strong, so I keep weekend premiums but drop weekly requirements once school is back. 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 lake and cave-season peaks, weekly minimums on lakefront homes, and off-season rate cards that carry the calendar through winter. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Mammoth Cave calendar before I make it. September to October: Labor Day and foliage weekends in Land Between the Lakes keep demand strong, so I keep weekend premiums but drop weekly requirements once school is back.
The mistake I see most is one strategy for both types of home. A lake house and a cabin near the cave entrance attract different guests, book at different times and need completely different stay rules. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Mammoth Cave.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.

Lake Barkley and Grand Rivers: Quieter than the Kentucky Lake side and close to the Land Between the Lakes trails, I price these slightly below the big lake but keep autumn weekends firm.
