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 Puglia. Puglia has become one of Italy's most popular summer regions. Beach and heritage travellers stay five to seven nights along the coast, and Bari's Festa di San Nicola in May brings pilgrims. Ferries to Greece and Albania add short stays. I price coastal summer weeks and the San Nicola weekend.
For a Puglia owner I first decide what the home really is: a Bari city flat, a sea-view apartment on the coast or a countryside trullo. Each needs its own season, minimum stays and comparables, and I set those with you along with correct regional and CIN codes.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Puglia.
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.
I keep Bari Vecchia flats running with low floors for ferry passengers and the December San Nicola feast, and close or heavily restrict seaside homes that nobody wants in winter.
Easter, spring touring of the trulli and the San Nicola feast in early May lift weekends, so I price the feast days as a Bari premium and keep coastal stays short.
Weddings in masserie and the first warm sea days push the Valle d'Itria and Polignano up, so I protect wedding weekends and introduce five-night minimums on the coast.
I hold weekly pricing on coastal and trulli homes and price Ferragosto at the top, while Bari city flats benefit from ferry traffic toward Greece and Albania.
The Fiera del Levante in Bari and a warm sea keep September strong, so I hold it near July, then let October fall gently with shorter stays.
Price Polignano and Monopoli summer weeks firmly.
Price Festa di San Nicola as a Bari premium.
Allow short stays near the ferry port.
Price trulli stays as a distinct product.

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. Whether trulli and masserie photos show the pool, the garden and the real distance to the sea, because inland homes in the Valle d'Itria are often mistaken for beach houses and reviews suffer.
Busiest in Puglia: June to September for the Adriatic and Ionian beaches, and May for the Festa di San Nicola. September to October: The Fiera del Levante in Bari and a warm sea keep September strong, so I hold it near July, then let October fall gently with shorter stays. Mid-May to June: Weddings in masserie and the first warm sea days push the Valle d'Itria and Polignano up, so I protect wedding weekends and introduce five-night minimums on the coast. 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.
Summer coastal premiums balanced against the San Nicola pilgrimage weekend, Puglia regional coding plus national CIN, and ferry-port demand toward Greece and Albania. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Puglia calendar before I make it. July to August: I hold weekly pricing on coastal and trulli homes and price Ferragosto at the top, while Bari city flats benefit from ferry traffic toward Greece and Albania.
Puglia has become one of Italy's most popular summer regions. Beach and heritage travellers stay five to seven nights along the coast, and Bari's Festa di San Nicola in May brings pilgrims. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Puglia.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Puglia the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Festa di San Nicola as a Bari premium. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Puglia sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. Mid-May to June: Weddings in masserie and the first warm sea days push the Valle d'Itria and Polignano up, so I protect wedding weekends and introduce five-night minimums on the coast. For hotel revenue management consulting in Puglia, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
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 Puglia, not the city. Allow short stays near the ferry port. Next: display regional codes and CIN.
Valle d'Itria (Alberobello, Ostuni, Locorotondo): Trulli, white towns and masserie draw couples and wedding parties; I price character and pools, and use weekly stays in high summer. Bari Vecchia and Murat and Polignano a Mare and Monopoli get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Puglia, not the market average.
