“Oaxaca has two festivals that decide much of the year: Día de Muertos and the Guelaguetza. Food and mezcal tourism keep visitors coming between them. Supply is limited in the historic centre. Visitors come for culture and food rather than beaches, so walkability to the centre and markets is the main location factor.”

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Oaxaca 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 Día de Muertos as the top band with minimum stays.
Price the Guelaguetza in July.
Price historic centre homes higher.
Add Christmas as a premium.
Lower May to June and September floors.

Dry, sunny months bring food lovers and Semana Santa visitors, so I keep rates firm and price Easter as its own week with a three night minimum.
Heat and early rains slow travel, so I offer weekly and monthly terms to language students and remote workers rather than cutting the nightly rate deeply.
The two festival Mondays on the Cerro del Fortín anchor the month; I build a premium block around them with minimum stays and keep the rest of July close to normal.
Rainy season and the post-festival lull mean a firm floor and longer stays, with weekend offers for domestic visitors driving in from Puebla and Mexico City.
I open Día de Muertos rates well ahead with four night minimums, because photographers and culture travellers often book these dates many months in advance.
Christmas visitors and the Noche de Rábanos on December 23 lift the second half of the month, so I raise those dates and keep early December closer to shoulder pricing.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Oaxaca needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For a home in Oaxaca or a small group of casitas, I review walking distance to the centre, how the two festival periods are opened and protected, and how the quieter months can lean on weekly and monthly guests, then give you a calendar you can follow all year.
I set up your pricing tool so Día de Muertos and the Guelaguetza open early with minimum stays, Christmas and Easter carry their own bands and the rainy months shift toward longer stays, with Airbnb and Booking.com following the same rates and rules.
My first decade was in five-star hotel revenue, so for Oaxaca boutique hotels I help manage the festival peaks, decide when to release rooms to OTAs and when to hold them for direct guests, and price room types by courtyard, view and location.

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 period, opened early, with minimum stays.
A major July festival. Alaa prices it higher.
No. Puerto Escondido follows the surf and beach seasons, while the city follows its festivals and dry winter months. I build separate calendars and comp sets, because a surf rental near Zicatela and a colonial home in the centre attract different guests at different times.
A weekly or monthly rate works well for students and remote workers outside the festivals. I keep those offers away from Día de Muertos, the Guelaguetza and Christmas, so long-stay guests fill the quieter months without taking your most valuable dates at a lower price.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Oaxaca, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Central Standard Time (UTC-6).
