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 Québec City: Québec Winter Carnival; Festival d'été in July; Old Québec and cruise calls; Christmas markets. Guests I price for: US and Canadian couples on 2 to 4 night stays. Where I start: Festival premiums, winter carnival pricing, and CITQ-compliant positioning.
From my years in five-star hotels, I help Québec City inns and hotels handle tour-group and cruise allocations, protect Carnival, festival and Christmas dates with stay controls, and choose comp sets inside the walls and outside them separately, because the two compete for different guests.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Québec City.
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.
“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.”

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.
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 |

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 Québec City: June to September, the Winter Carnival in February, and the Christmas season in Old Québec. 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. 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. 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 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.
Add Christmas market weekends. Next: keep CITQ registration current. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Québec City 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 Québec City: March to April and November. 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. May to June: 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.
Old Québec premium too small and unregistered listings. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Québec City, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Québec City, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Québec City sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. 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.
Old Québec (Vieux-Québec): The address everyone wants; I price it highest during the Carnival, Festival d'été and Christmas season, and avoid discounting it like the rest of the city. Saint-Roch and Montcalm and the Plains of Abraham 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.
Christmas markets, Québec Winter Carnival and Festival d'été in July are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Québec City. 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.

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 Québec City I would start from 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.
