Alaa Elhadi, an independent revenue management consultant, provides outsourced hotel revenue management for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments in Riga, Latvia, one to one, remotely and in Eastern European Time (UTC+2).

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 Riga: Old Riga and Art Nouveau tourism; Jāņi midsummer; Jūrmala beach season; Stag and group travel. Guests I price for: European weekend visitors and groups on 2 to 3 night stays. Where I start: Weekend and group premiums, summer beach demand in Jūrmala, and winter floors.
Riga hotels balance city breaks, conferences and group travel. With my five-star hotel background I work on group policies and pricing, conference rate fences, weekend leisure packages and the long winter strategy when demand from Scandinavia and the Baltics thins.
The service in general is described on my outsourced revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Riga.
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.
“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.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
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.
Add the Christmas market weekends.
Lower January to March floors.
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.

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 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 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. 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.
Set group rules and pricing. Next: lower January to March floors. For outsourced hotel revenue management, i start with base rates, the seasonal calendar and restrictions, because that is where a Riga 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 Riga: January to March. January to March: 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. April to May: 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.
Groups without rules and midsummer ignored. I look for these first when I review outsourced hotel revenue management in Riga, and fixing them is usually the quickest gain.
For outsourced hotel revenue management in Riga, i manage channel mix, parity and promotions together, so the cheapest route to a booking is not the most expensive one for you. Riga sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. April to May: 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.
Old Riga (Vecrīga): Cobbled streets, the Dome Cathedral and the Christmas market; I price weekends and Jāņi firmly and keep group rules tight because of neighbour sensitivity. Quiet Centre (Klusais centrs) and Jūrmala (Majori and Dzintari) 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.
Stag and group travel, Old Riga and Art Nouveau tourism and Jāņi midsummer are the dates I price first for outsourced hotel revenue management in Riga.

The scope of outsourced hotel revenue management is the same in every market, but the plan is not: in Riga I would start from 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.
