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 Salzburg. Salzburg and the Austrian Alps combine a world-famous music festival, Advent markets and major ski resorts. The Salzburg Festival fills July and August in the city, while Kitzbühel, Zell am See and Saalbach sell ski weeks. The Hahnenkamm race is a top weekend. German guests often book through FeWo-direkt.
If you own a Salzburg city flat or an Alpine ski apartment, I check whether it may be let to tourists, then build two very different calendars: one around the festival, Mozart Week and Advent, the other around ski holidays and the summer lakes.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Salzburg.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Ski weeks in Saalbach and Kitzbühel peak with the Hahnenkamm race and school holidays, while the city has Mozart Week in late January. I price mountain and city homes separately.
Easter skiing ends and the Whitsun festival and lake season arrive. I shorten minimums in the mountains and lift city weekends around Easter and Whitsun concerts.
The Salzburg Festival makes city nights the most valuable of the year. I open festival dates early and use four night minimums on central flats.
Hiking, Rupertikirtag in late September and quieter lakes keep demand steady. I move to two night stays and price weekends slightly above weekdays.
November is quiet until the Christkindlmarkt opens, then Advent weekends sell strongly. I price December weekends as their own band and set a minimum over New Year.
Price the Salzburg Festival as the top summer band for city homes.
Price Hahnenkamm race weekend and ski holiday weeks as premiums.
Use weekly stays for ski apartments.
Price Advent weekends in Salzburg.

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!

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 festival dates are opened far enough ahead, since many festival guests buy tickets months before travel and book the bed straight after.
Busiest in Salzburg: Salzburg Festival in July to August, the Advent season, and ski season from December to March in Zell am See, Kitzbühel and Saalbach. November to December: November is quiet until the Christkindlmarkt opens, then Advent weekends sell strongly. I price December weekends as their own band and set a minimum over New Year. January to March: Ski weeks in Saalbach and Kitzbühel peak with the Hahnenkamm race and school holidays, while the city has Mozart Week in late January. I price mountain and city homes separately. 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 and holiday-week premiums, weekly ski pricing, and inter-season floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Salzburg calendar before I make it. September to October: Hiking, Rupertikirtag in late September and quieter lakes keep demand steady. I move to two night stays and price weekends slightly above weekdays.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Salzburg the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Hahnenkamm race weekend and ski holiday weeks as premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.

Saalbach-Hinterglemm: A large ski circus with strong group demand. I price by the week, set clear group rules, and add a separate summer season for bikers and hikers. Altstadt and Nonntal and Kitzbühel get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Salzburg, not the market average.
