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 Thessaloniki. Thessaloniki and Halkidiki are two markets. Halkidiki's beaches sell weekly summer stays to Balkan and European families, while Thessaloniki's peak is autumn with the International Fair and Film Festival. I price the coast by the week and the city by events.
For Thessaloniki or Halkidiki I separate the city from the coast, check the AMA status and decide who your guests really are: students and their parents, fair and festival visitors, or beach families driving down from the Balkans. I then build a full-year plan with clear targets for each month and each type of guest.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Thessaloniki.
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.
“Thessaloniki and Halkidiki are two markets. Halkidiki's beaches sell weekly summer stays to Balkan and European families, while Thessaloniki's peak is autumn with the International Fair and Film Festival. I price the coast by the week and the city by events.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Halkidiki homes mostly close, while Thessaloniki relies on students, business visitors and the Film Festival; I price city flats for monthly stays and short event peaks.
Easter and warm weekends bring Balkan drivers to the coast and city breakers to Thessaloniki; I price weekends firmly and keep midweek stays flexible.
Kassandra and Sithonia fill with families on weekly stays, so I run Saturday changeovers and price July and August highest.
The International Fair in September and student arrivals lift the city, while Halkidiki stays warm; I price both firmly and relax stay lengths in October.
Run Halkidiki homes on weekly summer stays.
Price the Thessaloniki International Fair and Film Festival as premiums.
Price Thessaloniki for student-calendar demand.
Keep AMA registration numbers visible.
Set coastal off-season floors.
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.

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 the listing presents parking, road access and border crossing times, since many guests drive from Serbia, Bulgaria and North Macedonia.
Busiest in Thessaloniki: June to September in Halkidiki, and September to November in Thessaloniki with the film festival and trade fair. June to August: Kassandra and Sithonia fill with families on weekly stays, so I run Saturday changeovers and price July and August highest. September to October: The International Fair in September and student arrivals lift the city, while Halkidiki stays warm; I price both firmly and relax stay lengths in October. 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.
Weekly coastal pricing, city event premiums, and off-season floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Thessaloniki calendar before I make it.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number.

Sithonia: Quieter coves and pine forests suit families and couples; I price slightly below Kassandra and keep weekly stays in peak summer.
