Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Manila, Philippines, one to one, remotely and in Philippine Time (UTC+8). In Manila, I price March to May and November to December as the peak and June to October as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar.

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 Manila: Boracay and Cebu beach season; Balikbayan Christmas travel; Business process outsourcing corporate travel; Sinulog and festivals. Guests I price for: Domestic families and regional travellers on 3 to 5 night stays, corporate guests in Makati and BGC. Where I start: Dry-season premiums, Christmas minimum stays, and condo positioning in Makati and BGC.
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.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Manila.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“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.”

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.
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.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |

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!

Busiest in Manila: December to May dry season, Holy Week, and Christmas. 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. March to May: 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. 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.
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. 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.
Price Christmas as a premium for balikbayan family visits. Next: lower rainy-season floors from June to October. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Manila property usually leaks the most.
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 Manila: June to October rainy season. June to October: 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.
Holy Week underpriced and accreditation ignored on Boracay. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Manila, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Manila, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Manila sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Agoda. June to October: 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.
Bonifacio Global City (BGC): Corporate and expat demand keeps weekdays strong; I price it for business travellers and offer monthly rates for project teams. Boracay Station 2 and Mactan Island, Cebu 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.
Sinulog and festivals, Boracay and Cebu beach season and Balikbayan Christmas travel are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Manila. March to May: 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.
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 Manila and work remotely in Philippine Time (UTC+8). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price December to May beach season in Boracay and Cebu, with Holy Week highest.
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 Manila I would start from March to May: 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.
