Overview

What is Airbnb revenue management in Santiago?

Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results. It goes further than a pricing tool: I review the strategy as demand, events and your own pace change, and I explain every change I make.

What I plan around in Santiago: Ski resorts near Santiago; Wine tourism in Maipo and Casablanca; Valparaíso and Viña del Mar summer; Business and mining travel. Guests I price for: Brazilian and Argentine travellers in summer, ski visitors in winter, corporate guests midweek. Where I start: Dual-season pricing, corporate rates, and shoulder floors.

I set up your Airbnb and Booking.com pricing with separate ski and summer bands, weekday corporate rates for the financial district and event premiums for the festival calendar. Coastal homes in Valparaíso and Viña get their own calendar, never a copy of the city one.

The service in general is described on my airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how I apply it in Santiago.

Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Santiago

“Santiago has summer, ski season and business travel. Brazilians and Argentines ski nearby in winter, wine valleys attract visitors and mining and corporate travel fills weekdays. Valparaíso and Viña del Mar are summer coast markets. Winter ski visitors and summer beach visitors want different locations, so homes near the road to the mountains and homes near the coast need separate strategies.”

How I price it

My Santiago calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. December to FebruaryHigh

    The New Year fireworks over Valparaíso bay and the Viña del Mar festival in February drive the coast, so I price those nights as premiums while Santiago weekdays stay corporate.

  2. March to MayShoulder

    Lollapalooza Chile and the harvest festivals in the wine valleys lift March and April weekends; I price those higher and keep weekday rates steady through May.

  3. June to mid-SeptemberHigh

    Ski season draws Brazilians and Argentines to Valle Nevado, La Parva and El Colorado, so I price homes on the eastern side toward the mountain road higher and hold winter weekends firm.

  4. Fiestas Patrias in SeptemberHigh

    Around the eighteenth Chileans travel for the national holidays, so I raise coastal homes, set short minimums and keep Santiago rates competitive for visitors.

  5. October to NovemberShoulder

    Spring brings steady business travel and wine visits, so I hold corporate rates in the city and gradually build the coast calendar toward summer.

Where I price differently in Santiago

Lastarria and Bellas Artes
Central, cultural and walkable with museums and cafés; I price for leisure guests and couples, with weekends set above weekdays.
Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción, Valparaíso
Colourful hills with bay views and boutique stays; I price for couples and peak them hard around New Year's Eve.
Vitacura
Upscale and residential near Parque Bicentenario; I price for longer business and family stays rather than short city breaks.

What I check first in Santiago

  • Whether the home is closer to the road up to the ski resorts or to Route 68 toward the coast, since that decides which season it should be priced to win.
  • Whether mining and corporate guests can get an invoice and a proper workspace, because they often book midweek for several nights and will not compromise on those basics.
  • How Valparaíso hillside homes describe stairs, funiculars and parking, since access shapes reviews there more than anything inside the house.
