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 Moab: Arches and Canyonlands national parks; Easter Jeep Safari; Mountain biking season; Zion and Bryce road trips. Guests I price for: Outdoor travellers and families on 2 to 4 night stays. Where I start: Two shoulder-season peaks with summer and winter floors, and event-week premiums.
With my five-star hotel background, I help Moab hotels and lodges manage group blocks for off-road clubs and races, length-of-stay controls over Easter Jeep Safari, and package pricing with tours or river trips, while keeping summer and winter rates sensible.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Moab.
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.
“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.”
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.
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.

| 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 is a consummate professional! Patient, thorough, efficient and effective in communicating.

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 Moab: March to May and September to October, with Easter Jeep Safari in spring. March to May: 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. September and October: 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. 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 park access situation is explained, including any timed entry system at Arches in the current season, since guests plan their stay around the national park rules.
Charge for trailer parking, bike storage and space for gear. Next: check whether the property is in a zone where nightly rentals are permitted. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Moab 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 Moab: December to February and July to August heat. December to February: 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. June to August: 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.
No parking information for guests with trailers and off-road vehicles and long minimum stays in quiet months. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Moab, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Moab, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Moab sells mostly through Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. March to May: 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.
Downtown Moab and Main Street: Walkable to restaurants and outfitters; I price for couples and small groups on short stays, with spring and autumn weekends at the top. Spanish Valley and Castle Valley and the River Road 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.
Zion and Bryce road trips, Arches and Canyonlands national parks and Easter Jeep Safari are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Moab. November: 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.
