Trip.com optimization for hotels is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Trip.com. I adapt your content for the Chinese and Asian traveler, set up promotions and flash sales, and manage the service signals Trip.com scores.
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.
Québec City sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. 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 trip.com optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Québec City.
These guests look for different things first. I rewrite content and highlight what they value, from payment and language support to specific facilities.
I order photos so the property card works for this audience and flag shots that do not suit it.
Trip.com runs on campaigns. I decide which promotions and flash sales earn their cost and structure rate plans to match.
Service scores and reply speed influence placement. I set response routines and fix the causes behind low scores.
“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.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
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.
Trip.com is the leading channel for Chinese outbound travel, and its guests book differently, expect different services and reward different signals. If your market receives these visitors, a profile written for them is a separate piece of work, not a translation.
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.
A new Trip.com listing
You have just connected Trip.com and want it to rank and convert from the first weeks, not after months of guessing.
Views but few bookings
Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on Trip.com.
Commission without much return
You pay Trip.com commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Trip.com and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Trip.com listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Trip.com: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Trip.com account or through your channel manager, and explain each one so you can maintain it.
Step 4
About 30 days later I look at impressions, conversion and booking share on Trip.com and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Trip.com optimization per property after a short chat. You get a fixed scope and price before any work starts.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | Trip.com optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Trip.com | Quoted |
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!
