“The Philippines needs three strategies under one heading. Makati and BGC condos serve corporate and outsourcing travel on weekdays, Boracay and Cebu sell dry-season beach holidays, and Christmas brings Filipinos home from abroad. Boracay also manages visitor numbers carefully since its rehabilitation, so accredited properties have an edge.”

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Manila books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Set weekday corporate rates for Makati and BGC condos.
Price December to May beach season in Boracay and Cebu, with Holy Week highest.
Price Christmas as a premium for balikbayan family visits.
Confirm accreditation requirements on Boracay.
Lower rainy-season floors from June to October.

Sinulog in Cebu and Ati-Atihan in Kalibo near Boracay create festival weeks, so I price those dates as premiums and keep the rest of the dry season steady.
Summer school break and Holy Week bring domestic families to the beaches; I lift Boracay and Cebu rates sharply and set three-night minimums across the Easter long weekend.
Typhoons and rain slow leisure travel, so I keep beach floors sensible and lean on Makati and BGC corporate stays, which hold up better through the wet months.
Thirteenth-month pay, school breaks and balikbayan visits make Christmas the year's high point. I open December early, protect New Year with longer minimums and limit last-minute deals.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Manila needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For Philippine owners, I review Makati or BGC condos and Boracay or Cebu homes separately, checking building rules, accreditation and which guests each serves. Then we build seasonal plans with corporate weekday rates in the city and festival and holiday premiums at the beach, so each property follows its own demand.
On Airbnb, Agoda and Booking.com I configure PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with Holy Week and Christmas overrides, rainy-season floors and monthly discounts for corporate guests in BGC and Makati, keeping rates, fees and minimum stays aligned across every channel so no listing undercuts another during Holy Week or Christmas.
With my five-star hotel background, I help Philippine hotels and resorts balance outsourcing-sector corporate contracts, domestic group travel and OTA demand, with rate fences for Holy Week and Christmas and a strategy for the typhoon months that keeps corporate weekdays and domestic weekends working together.

Real feedback from PriceLabs pricing strategy sessions with Alaa.
Alaa is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating. He not only made savvy adjustments to my dynamic pricing strategy, but also helped me to understand the reasoning behind his methods, granting me a better understanding of the PriceLabs platform. Strong work!
Airbnb host
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!
Airbnb host
Properties must meet local tourism requirements. Alaa checks them first.
Yes, weekday business travel is strong.
Often yes. Filipino families tend to book around school breaks, Holy Week and paydays, sometimes in larger groups and closer to travel. International guests from Korea, China and further away usually book earlier. I set long-lead rates for international demand and keep space for domestic bookings closer in.
It depends on the building rules and your target guest. Many owners do well with monthly corporate stays for outsourcing and consulting teams, with fewer turnovers and steadier income. Where nightly stays are allowed, I mix both, using nightly rates for peak weeks and monthly rates for quieter months.
