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 Québec City. Québec City sells Old Québec charm in summer and winter. The Winter Carnival in February is a rare winter peak, Festival d'été fills July and Christmas markets add December. CITQ registration is required. Most guests are couples on short breaks, so walkability to Old Québec and parking in winter are the features that decide bookings and deserve a clear price difference.
For Québec City owners I check the CITQ status, then plan around three peaks: the Winter Carnival, Festival d'été and Christmas. The plan sets prices for each season and a sensible approach to March, April and November, when the city goes quiet.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Québec City.
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.

The Winter Carnival fills the city for several weekends, so I price them as a block and keep weekdays steady for visitors coming to see the Hôtel de Glace.
Snow melt and sugar-shack season bring local weekend trips only, so I lower floors, allow single nights and keep weekend minimums short.
Rates rise as the terraces in Old Québec open and Saint-Jean-Baptiste on June 24 arrives, which I treat as its own premium date.
Festival d'été de Québec is the top summer event, so I set minimum stays for its days and hold the rest of the summer near peak.
Cruise calls and autumn colour keep the city busy, so I hold weekends firm and only discount weekdays late in October.
November is quiet, so I keep it simple and cheap, then lift prices again for the German Christmas Market and the holiday weeks in Old Québec.
Price the Winter Carnival as a winter premium.
Price Festival d'été as the top summer band.
Add Christmas market weekends.
Price Old Québec homes higher.
Keep CITQ registration current.
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!
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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. Whether winter parking and snow clearing are explained clearly, since guests driving from Montréal or New England often choose based on that alone in January and February.
Busiest in Québec City: June to September, the Winter Carnival in February, and the Christmas season in Old Québec. September to October: Cruise calls and autumn colour keep the city busy, so I hold weekends firm and only discount weekdays late in October. January to February: The Winter Carnival fills the city for several weekends, so I price them as a block and keep weekdays steady for visitors coming to see the Hôtel de Glace. 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.
Festival premiums, winter carnival pricing, and CITQ-compliant positioning. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Québec City calendar before I make it. July to August: Festival d'été de Québec is the top summer event, so I set minimum stays for its days and hold the rest of the summer near peak.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Québec City the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Festival d'été as the top summer band. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Québec City sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. March to April: Snow melt and sugar-shack season bring local weekend trips only, so I lower floors, allow single nights and keep weekend minimums short.

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 Québec City, not the city. Add Christmas market weekends. Next: keep CITQ registration current.
Montcalm and the Plains of Abraham: Close to the festival stages and museums; I lift prices for Festival d'été and keep longer stays appealing for families. Old Québec (Vieux-Québec) and Saint-Roch get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Québec City, not the market average.
