Overview

What is outsourced hotel revenue management in Split?

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 Split: Ultra Europe festival; Island-hopping and sailing season; Game of Thrones and Diocletian's Palace tourism; Yacht Week. Guests I price for: European and Australian travellers on 3 to 7 night stays in Split, Hvar, Brač and Trogir. Where I start: Festival and sailing-week premiums, weekly villa pricing on the islands, and a firm off-season strategy.

For hotels in Split and the islands I use my five-star chain background to manage tour operator and group contracts against direct summer demand, set length-of-stay rules around festival dates, and choose comps by island and harbour access rather than by star rating.

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

Included

What I run for a hotel on a monthly plan in Split

Daily rates and restrictions

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.

  • BAR and rate-plan strategy by room type
  • Seasonal, event and day-of-week rules
  • Length-of-stay and minimum-stay restrictions
  • Closed-to-arrival and stop-sell logic

Distribution and OTAs

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.

  • OTA and metasearch optimization
  • Rate-parity checks and promotions
  • Segmentation across OTA, direct and corporate
  • Channel manager and PMS mapping

Forecasts and budgets

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.

  • 12-month demand forecast
  • Annual budget and re-forecast
  • Group, corporate and event rate strategy
  • Pace and displacement analysis

Reporting and strategy calls

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.

  • Monthly performance summary
  • ADR, occupancy and RevPAR reporting
  • Monthly strategy call (Pro)
  • Quarterly business review (Pro)
Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Split

“Split and the Dalmatian islands are a short, busy summer market. Ultra Europe in July, Yacht Week and island-hopping fill June to September, and August is the top month. Off-season is long. Croatia has also given cities more power to limit rentals and raised flat-rate taxes. I price summer firmly and set a clear off-season plan.”

How I price it

My Split calendar, and what I do in each period

  1. November to MarchLow

    Island villas mostly close, while Split city flats can host business visitors and slow travellers. I set low floors in Split and close the islands with intent.

  2. April to MayShoulder

    Early sailors and couples arrive as catamarans increase. I keep minimums short, price weekends above weekdays, and open summer dates with confident rates.

  3. June to AugustPeak

    Ultra Europe, Yacht Week and island-hopping fill the coast. I price Split for short stays around ferries and the islands for full weeks with firm minimums.

  4. September to OctoberShoulder

    Calmer seas and late sailors keep demand alive. I step rates down weekly and shorten minimums, especially on Brač and Hvar as ferries thin out.

Where I price differently in Split

Split old town and Varoš
Around Diocletian's Palace, close to the harbour. I price for one to three night stays around ferry schedules and lift Ultra Europe weekend sharply.
Hvar Town
Nightlife and yachts make this the island premium. I price summer weeks high with long minimums and use the shoulder for quieter couples.
Bol on Brač and Trogir
Bol's Zlatni Rat beach suits families, and Trogir sits near the airport. I price both for weekly summer stays at slightly lower rates than Hvar.

What I check first in Split

  • Whether the property is registered for tourist letting with the local authorities and the flat-rate tax is paid, because Croatian cities now have more power to restrict rentals.
  • How the listing explains distance to the ferry port or catamaran pier, since island-hoppers arriving in Split choose by easy access to the harbour.
  • Whether summer minimum stays match the guest type, since Split city flats need shorter stays around ferries while island villas suit full weeks.

An owner or asset manager
