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 Manila. 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.
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.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Manila.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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!

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 the condo building in Makati or BGC treats short-stay guests, because some associations restrict them, and a guest turned away at reception damages the listing for months.
Busiest in Manila: December to May dry season, Holy Week, and Christmas. November to December: 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. January to February: 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. 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.
Dry-season premiums, Christmas minimum stays, and condo positioning in Makati and BGC. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Manila calendar before I make it. November to December: 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.
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. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Manila.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Manila the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price December to May beach season in Boracay and Cebu, with Holy Week highest. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Manila sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda. November to December: 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. For hotel revenue management consulting in Manila, 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 Manila, not the city. Price Christmas as a premium for balikbayan family visits. Next: lower rainy-season floors from June to October.
Mactan Island, Cebu: Close to the airport and resorts, it suits families and divers; I price Sinulog week and Holy Week as premiums and reward longer summer stays. Bonifacio Global City (BGC) and Boracay Station 2 get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Manila, not the market average.

I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Manila and work remotely in Philippine Time (UTC+8). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price Christmas as a premium for balikbayan family visits.
