Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Puglia, Italy, one to one, remotely and in Central European Time (UTC+1).

Outsourced hotel revenue management means I do the job of the revenue manager for you: I watch the comp set and pace every day, move rates and restrictions, manage the OTAs, forecast demand and report each month. You keep control of the hotel and see every decision.
What I plan around in Puglia: Festa di San Nicola; Polignano a Mare cliffs; trulli of Alberobello; Bari Vecchia old town. Guests I price for: beach and heritage travellers on 5 to 7 night stays in Bari Vecchia and along the coast at Polignano and Monopoli. Where I start: summer coastal premiums balanced against the San Nicola pilgrimage weekend, Puglia regional coding plus national CIN, and ferry-port demand toward Greece and Albania.
Puglia's masserie and boutique hotels earn much of their year from weddings and summer touring. From my five-star hotel background I work on wedding buyouts and deposits, room-type pricing for trulli suites, and how to balance direct bookings with OTA exposure.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Puglia.
I monitor your comp set and booking pace every day and move rates, rate plans and restrictions as demand shifts, room type by room type.
I manage the channel mix, parity and promotions together across Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Google and your own site, so cost of sale does not eat the gain.
On the higher plans I forecast demand by month and segment, build the annual budget and keep a 12-month pricing calendar tied to the market's real dates.
You get a monthly performance summary, a full ADR, occupancy and RevPAR report on Plus and Pro, and on Pro a monthly strategy call and a quarterly review.
“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.”
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.
Display regional codes and CIN.
No revenue manager
The role left or was never hired, and rooms are priced between other duties.
Results have plateaued
RevPAR has stopped moving while the comp set keeps learning.
More than one property
You want one consistent method across a small group without building a department.
An owner or asset manager
You want decisions made by a specialist and reported in numbers you can check.
Room count, room types, channels and the systems you use. I confirm the plan level and the monthly price for your size.
I study your market, comp set and current rates, set up the strategy and connect your PMS or channel manager and pricing tool.
I adjust rates, restrictions and promotions as demand moves, and manage your OTAs on Plus and Pro.
Step 4
You get the report against budget and last year, and on Pro we meet monthly, so nothing I do is hidden.
Priced monthly by your hotel's size, not per room. Core, Plus and Pro, month to month, never a percentage of revenue. Hotels of 200 or more rooms, luxury properties and groups are quoted individually.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Core, up to 20 rooms | Managed pricing, run for you every day | From $650/mo |
| Plus | Pricing plus OTA, channel and segment optimization | By hotel size |
| Pro | Full revenue management with forecasting and a monthly strategy call | By hotel size |
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!

Busiest in Puglia: June to September for the Adriatic and Ionian beaches, and May for the Festa di San Nicola. 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. 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. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i raise floors and tighten minimum stays ahead of these windows and review pace every week, so the strongest dates never sell early at a shoulder rate.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, that is the first thing I check before taking on the pricing, because everything else sits on top of 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.
Allow short stays near the ferry port. Next: display regional codes and CIN. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Puglia property usually leaks the most.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, in the quiet months my job is to protect the floor, close gaps with length-of-stay and last-minute rules, and keep the property visible on every channel. Quietest in Puglia: November to March. April to mid-May: 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. November to March: 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.
Trulli priced like ordinary homes and listings without codes. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Puglia, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Puglia, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Puglia sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. April to mid-May: 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.
Bari Vecchia and Murat: The old town around the Basilica of San Nicola and the grid streets of Murat give Bari a year-round base; I price feast days and ferry weekends up and keep midweek floors realistic. Polignano a Mare and Monopoli and Valle d'Itria (Alberobello, Ostuni, Locorotondo) get their own treatment. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i set rates, comp sets and restrictions per area and per room or listing type, not as one citywide number.
Bari Vecchia old town, Festa di San Nicola and Polignano a Mare cliffs are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Puglia. 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.
For outsourced hotel revenue management, you get one experienced person who knows your numbers, with a small team and a tool stack behind me, and no account-manager layer in between. I have optimized 100+ properties in and around Puglia and work remotely in Central European Time (UTC+1). Locally, that shows up in decisions like this: price Festa di San Nicola as a Bari premium.
Hotel revenue management plans are priced monthly by hotel size, with Core from $650 a month, Plus adding channel and segment optimization and Pro adding forecasting and a monthly strategy call. They run month to month and are never a percentage of revenue. The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Puglia I would start from 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.
