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 Moab. Moab is a shoulder-season market. Spring and autumn are ideal for the national parks, mountain biking and off-road trips, while summer heat and winter cold thin demand. Easter Jeep Safari is the standout week. Guests are outdoor travellers on short stays, and Grand County also limits where nightly rentals can operate.
For a Moab owner I confirm zoning and licence first, then build a calendar around the two shoulder peaks, events like Jeep Safari, and realistic summer and winter floors. I also review how the listing speaks to off-road, biking and park guests, because each pays differently.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Moab.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Quiet trails and cold nights bring a few hikers and photographers, so I allow one night stays, keep the floor modest and price the holidays slightly higher.
Easter Jeep Safari, spring break and the Canyonlands Half Marathon fill the town, so I open those dates early and keep minimum stays longer through the busiest weeks.
River trips and international visitors still come despite the heat, so I keep weekend rates fair and present air conditioning and pool access as clear selling points.
Autumn mountain biking and the Moab Music Festival keep demand strong, so I hold weekend rates firm and price festival and biking event weekends above the rest.
Thanksgiving brings families from Colorado and the Wasatch Front, so I price that week above the rest of the month and keep shorter stays open for late visitors.
Price March to May and September to October as the main seasons.
Set Easter Jeep Safari week as the top band with longer minimum stays.
Charge for trailer parking, bike storage and space for gear.
Lower July to August and winter floors, with 1-night stays allowed.
Check whether the property is in a zone where nightly rentals are permitted.
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

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!
