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 Riga. Riga sells Old Town and Art Nouveau city breaks, Jāņi midsummer and summer beach days in Jūrmala. Groups are a noticeable segment. Winter is quiet. I price weekends and Jāņi, and separate Jūrmala beach homes. Weekend city breaks from across Europe are the core product, so Friday and Saturday pricing, clear group rules and the midsummer holiday usually matter more here than anything else.
For a Riga owner I separate the city flat from any Jūrmala home, set weekend and group strategies that protect the building and reviews, and plan Jāņi, summer and the Christmas market as the main earning periods, with honest winter floors in between.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Riga.
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.

Cold and dark months bring few leisure visitors, so I keep floors for business travellers and the occasional hockey or concert weekend, and use longer stays to fill quiet weeks.
Spring city breaks and the Riga Marathon in May lift weekends, so I raise Friday and Saturday first and open summer dates with confident early rates.
Long white nights, Jāņi on 23 and 24 June and Jūrmala beach days make summer the main season, so I price weekends firmly and set clear group rules.
Autumn conferences and city breaks hold up well in September, so I keep rates near summer early in the month and ease weekdays as October darkens.
The Christmas market on Dome Square and festive concerts bring weekend visitors from across the Baltics and Scandinavia, so I price December weekends firmly and protect New Year.
Price Jāņi midsummer as a premium.
Price Jūrmala beach homes for summer separately.
Set group rules and pricing.

Performance has flattened

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. How far the home is from the Old Town and the Art Nouveau streets around Alberta iela, since visitors judge Riga listings by walking distance to these two areas.
Busiest in Riga: May to September, Midsummer (Jāņi), and the Christmas market. June to August: Long white nights, Jāņi on 23 and 24 June and Jūrmala beach days make summer the main season, so I price weekends firmly and set clear group rules. November to December: The Christmas market on Dome Square and festive concerts bring weekend visitors from across the Baltics and Scandinavia, so I price December weekends firmly and protect New Year. 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.
Weekend and group premiums, summer beach demand in Jūrmala, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Riga calendar before I make it. September to October: Autumn conferences and city breaks hold up well in September, so I keep rates near summer early in the month and ease weekdays as October darkens.
Weekend city breaks from across Europe are the core product, so Friday and Saturday pricing, clear group rules and the midsummer holiday usually matter more here than anything else. Riga sells Old Town and Art Nouveau city breaks, Jāņi midsummer and summer beach days in Jūrmala. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Riga.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Riga the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Jūrmala beach homes for summer separately. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Riga sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. June to August: Long white nights, Jāņi on 23 and 24 June and Jūrmala beach days make summer the main season, so I price weekends firmly and set clear group rules. For hotel revenue management consulting in Riga, 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 Riga, not the city. Set group rules and pricing. Next: lower January to March floors.
Jūrmala (Majori and Dzintari): Beach resort with wooden villas and summer concerts at Dzintari; I price June to August with weekly options and keep winter as spa-focused stays. Old Riga (Vecrīga) and Quiet Centre (Klusais centrs) get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Riga, not the market average.
