“New River Gorge is an adventure market for rafters, climbers and hikers. Bridge Day in October is a single-day event that fills the area, and the autumn Gauley River release season brings serious rafters. Summer weekends are strong. Winter is quiet. I price Bridge Day and Gauley weekends aggressively.”

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in New River Gorge books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Price Bridge Day weekend as the top band with 2-night minimums.
Add Gauley River release weekends in autumn as premiums.

Skiers heading to Winterplace and visitors walking the bridge catwalk keep some demand, so I allow one night stays and keep the floor modest for quiet weekends.
Spring climbing season and high water on the Lower New bring adventure guests, so I lift weekends and keep minimum stays short for climbers and paddlers.
Summer rafting and family trips fill weekends, so I hold Friday and Saturday rates, set two night minimums and offer midweek value to families and groups.
Gauley release weekends and Bridge Day on the third Saturday of October are the top dates, so I open them early with longer stays and the highest rates of the year.
Autumn colour and hunting season bring couples and hunters, so I keep weekend premiums modest and offer longer stays before the winter lull.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in New River Gorge needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For a New River Gorge owner I build a year around Bridge Day, Gauley season and summer rafting, with realistic winter floors, and check how the listing speaks to rafters, climbers and families, since each group plans differently and pays for different features.
For hosts around Fayetteville and Summersville I configure PriceLabs or Wheelhouse with Bridge Day and Gauley weekend premiums, summer rules for weekends and midweeks, and winter pricing that keeps the calendar open for skiers, hikers and couples instead of closing the home until spring.
With my five-star hotel background, I help gorge lodges and adventure resorts set packages with rafting or climbing, group blocks for outfitters and events, length-of-stay controls over Bridge Day, and summer rate fences that protect weekends without losing midweek groups.

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!
Airbnb host
As the top weekend of the year, opened early, with 2-night minimums.
Autumn dam releases on the Gauley River attract experienced rafters. Alaa prices those weekends as premiums.
It can help, through packages or referrals, since many guests book rafting first and look for a stay after. I make sure the listing mentions nearby outfitters and the distance to put-in points, and keep rates competitive with the outfitters' own cabins.
It has brought more general visitors, not only adventure travellers, which helps weekends outside the main events. I price for families and hikers too, with shorter stays in spring and autumn, while keeping Bridge Day and Gauley weekends at the top of the calendar.
