The regional channels that matter in your market, set up properly.I decide which regional OTAs are worth your time, then set up content, rates and mapping through your channel manager with parity checked.

Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides regional and niche hotel OTA optimization for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Marrakech, Morocco, one to one, remotely and in Western European Time (UTC+0 / +1). In Marrakech, I price March to May and Christmas and New Year as the peak and June to August as the quiet time, and I build the work around that calendar. Regional OTA optimization is quoted per property after a short chat, because the scope depends on the number of properties and room types.

Regional and niche hotel OTA optimization is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on regional and niche OTAs. I decide which regional OTAs are worth your time, then set up content, rates and mapping through your channel manager with parity checked.
What I plan around in Marrakech: European spring and autumn holidays; Marrakech International Film Festival; Golf tourism; Riad and desert-tour demand. Guests I price for: European couples and families on 3 to 5 night stays in the Medina and Palmeraie. Where I start: Riad positioning by room count and pool, holiday premiums, and summer and Ramadan floors.
Marrakech sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Marrakech hotels and boutique riads compete for tour operators, wedding groups and independent travellers at once. From my five-star hotel years, I help separate group and leisure pricing, set the conditions for full buy-outs, and run summer and Ramadan offers that fill rooms without teaching regular guests to wait for discounts.
The service in general is described on my other hotel ota optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Marrakech.
Regional leaders reach travelers the global OTAs do not. I tell you which are worth adding in your market and set each up for its audience.
Corporate and wholesale business needs different rates and terms. I structure them so volume does not undercut your direct and OTA prices.
Niche platforms suit certain properties and not others. I assess fit, prepare content and connect only those that earn their place.
Every added channel is a risk of double bookings and parity breaks. I map each one explicitly and check parity after changes.
“Marrakech is a riad market. Guests choose by courtyard, pool, rooftop and how many rooms they need, and many book the whole riad for a group. Spring and autumn are best, summer heat and Ramadan are quiet. I price riads by room count and features, and move Ramadan every year.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Cold Medina nights and short days slow demand, so I keep rates modest, show fireplaces and heated rooms in the photos, and target European half-term weeks for families.
Spring is when riads earn their year, so I raise whole-house rates, set three-night minimums at weekends and treat the Easter fortnight as a premium week.
In the heat I put plunge pools front and centre, lower Medina floors, and accept shorter stays from travellers passing through on their way to the Atlas or the desert.
Autumn rebuilds demand, so I hold weekend premiums, check the film festival dates as soon as they are announced, and quote group buy-outs for weddings and birthday trips.
I price the festive fortnight as the top band, mention any New Year dinner the staff can prepare, and set minimum stays that stop the calendar breaking into single nights.
Each channel costs commission and attention. I only recommend the ones with real demand in your market and then set them up properly, because a poorly set up channel brings commission, parity problems and little else.
Price whole riads by bedroom count and pool against comparable riads.
Price March to May and September to November as main seasons.
Add Christmas, New Year and film festival dates as premiums.
Move Ramadan dates each year and lower floors then.
Price Palmeraie villas separately from Medina riads.
A new regional and niche OTAs listing
You have just connected regional and niche OTAs and want it to rank and convert from the first weeks, not after months of guessing.
Views but few bookings
Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on regional and niche OTAs.
Commission without much return
You pay regional and niche OTAs commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on regional and niche OTAs and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the regional and niche OTAs listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for regional and niche OTAs: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your regional and niche OTAs account or through your channel manager, and explain each one so you can maintain it.
Step 4
About 30 days later I look at impressions, conversion and booking share on regional and niche OTAs and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Regional OTA optimization per property after a short chat. You get a fixed scope and price before any work starts.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | Regional OTA optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Regional OTA | Quoted |
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!

Christmas and New Year: I price the festive fortnight as the top band, mention any New Year dinner the staff can prepare, and set minimum stays that stop the calendar breaking into single nights.
