Trip.com optimization for hotels is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Trip.com. I adapt your content for the Chinese and Asian traveler, set up promotions and flash sales, and manage the service signals Trip.com scores.
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 trip.com optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Marrakech.
These guests look for different things first. I rewrite content and highlight what they value, from payment and language support to specific facilities.
I order photos so the property card works for this audience and flag shots that do not suit it.
Trip.com runs on campaigns. I decide which promotions and flash sales earn their cost and structure rate plans to match.
Service scores and reply speed influence placement. I set response routines and fix the causes behind low scores.
“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.
Trip.com is the leading channel for Chinese outbound travel, and its guests book differently, expect different services and reward different signals. If your market receives these visitors, a profile written for them is a separate piece of work, not a translation.
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 Trip.com listing
You have just connected Trip.com 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 Trip.com.
Commission without much return
You pay Trip.com commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Trip.com and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Trip.com listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Trip.com: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Trip.com 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 Trip.com and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Trip.com 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 | Trip.com optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Trip.com | 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!
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!
