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 The Moselle Valley. The Moselle Valley is wine and river touring. Riesling harvest and village wine festivals in September and October are the peaks, with warm summer weeks close behind. Couples and cyclists stay three to five nights. Villages along the river are close together but each has its own festival dates, so a single valley-wide calendar misses the weekends that matter most for each home.
For a Moselle owner I build a village-by-village festival calendar, check registration and tourist tax, and review your view, parking and bike set-up. The result is a full-year plan with clear targets for harvest weekends, summer weeks and quieter months.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in The Moselle Valley.
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.

Many wineries and boats close for winter, so I keep floors low but sensible and target couples on short wine breaks with two-night weekend stays.
Cyclists on the Moselradweg and spring wine tastings start the year; I price Easter, Ascension and Pentecost weekends as small peaks and leave weekdays flexible.
Warm river weeks bring families, boat tourists and cyclists; I hold three-night stays on weekends and price homes with river views and terraces clearly higher.
Harvest weekends and village wine festivals are the year's top dates; I price each village's festival weekend separately and use midweek offers to fill the gaps between them.
Christmas markets in Trier and Bernkastel and the cellar market in Traben-Trarbach lift December weekends, so I price those firmly and keep November simple.
Price harvest and wine festival weekends as the top bands.
Price July and August river weeks.
Offer bike storage for cyclists.
Price Cochem and Bernkastel separately.
Use autumn midweek pricing.
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
I can set the strategy up in your systems, train your team and check in monthly, or run it for you as outsourced management.
Every engagement is fixed-scope and fixed-price. After a free discovery call you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts. Training days and monthly check-ins are quoted separately.

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!
