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 New Forest. The New Forest and Bournemouth sit side by side but sell different stays. Forest cottages sell calm and ponies, Bournemouth sells beaches and the Air Festival in late summer. I run two linked curves and stack school-holiday and air-festival premiums on the coast.
For owners in the New Forest and Bournemouth I review whether each home is priced against the right comp set, how forest and coast calendars differ, and how the air festival and New Forest Show are handled. I then set out a plan that keeps both types of home earning across the year.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in The New Forest.
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.
Forest cottages attract walkers and couples on winter breaks, while beach flats go very quiet, so I keep the two calendars separate and price forest weekends more confidently.
Easter, the May bank holidays and the first warm weekends bring families to the coast, so I lift those dates and keep midweek forest breaks available for walkers and cyclists.
School holidays fill both areas, and the New Forest Show near Brockenhurst lifts late July, so I sell full weeks on the coast and price show week up in the forest.
The Bournemouth Air Festival packs the seafront, so I price beach flats near the pier and the East Cliff for that weekend and keep forest cottages on normal late-summer rates.
Autumn colour draws walkers into the forest, and Christmas breaks fill larger cottages, so I offer short stays and price the holiday weeks as fixed blocks.
Price Bournemouth Air Festival weekend as a coastal premium.
Use weekly summer stays for beach flats.
Price New Forest cottages on their own comps.
Offer short breaks in the forest year-round.
Lower December to February floors.
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.

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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the listing explains ponies, cattle and cycle routes in the forest, since guests value this information and it shapes expectations about driving and parking.
Busiest in The New Forest: July and August for the beaches, with a September spike around the Bournemouth Air Festival. July to August: School holidays fill both areas, and the New Forest Show near Brockenhurst lifts late July, so I sell full weeks on the coast and price show week up in the forest. Late August to September: The Bournemouth Air Festival packs the seafront, so I price beach flats near the pier and the East Cliff for that weekend and keep forest cottages on normal late-summer rates. For hotel revenue management consulting, my audit tests whether your current rates and restrictions capture these windows, and the 12-month calendar I hand over sets them in advance.
Running two linked demand curves, a rural New Forest cottage rate and an urban beach rate, and stacking air-festival and school-holiday premiums onto the coast. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the The New Forest calendar before I make it. Late August to September: The Bournemouth Air Festival packs the seafront, so I price beach flats near the pier and the East Cliff for that weekend and keep forest cottages on normal late-summer rates.
Forest cottages sell calm and ponies, Bournemouth sells beaches and the Air Festival in late summer. I run two linked curves and stack school-holiday and air-festival premiums on the coast. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in The New Forest.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In The New Forest the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: use weekly summer stays for beach flats. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
The New Forest sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. July to August: School holidays fill both areas, and the New Forest Show near Brockenhurst lifts late July, so I sell full weeks on the coast and price show week up in the forest.

For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in The New Forest, not the city. Price New Forest cottages on their own comps. Next: lower December to February floors.
Lymington and Beaulieu: Yachting, the motor museum and boutique shopping attract older couples and families, so I price these homes above the inner forest and reward longer stays. Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst and Bournemouth seafront and Boscombe get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of The New Forest, not the market average.
