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 Tromso. Tromsø has two peaks that look nothing alike: the aurora winter from November to March, with the film festival in January, and the midnight-sun summer. Aurora guests stay three to five nights to improve their chances. The shoulders are quiet. I price winter steeply and keep flexible terms for weather.
For Tromsø owners I start by separating the aurora winter, the midnight-sun summer and the shoulders, then check how each is priced. The plan usually lifts December to February, sets minimum stays that suit aurora guests and protects value in the quieter months.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Tromso.
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.

The film festival, the end of the polar night and strong aurora demand make January one of the best months, so I price it firmly and keep three-night minimums.
Longer days and good aurora chances keep demand high, so I hold rates firm and use minimum stays to protect the calendar from short gaps.
Snow melt and fewer aurora nights cut demand, so I set careful floors, accept shorter stays and offer weekly rates to researchers and visiting workers.
The midnight sun, hiking and cruise visits form a second season; I price weekends and cruise days higher and keep two-night minimums for road-trippers.
The first aurora sightings bring early visitors, so I price clear late September and October dates slightly higher while keeping the rest close to the floor.
The polar night begins, aurora tours are fully running and Christmas trips add demand, so I lift rates through December and keep three-night minimums.
Price December to February as the top aurora season.
Add the Tromsø International Film Festival in January.

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the price changes between December to February and the shoulders, since many owners keep the same rate all winter and lose value on the strongest aurora weeks.
Busiest in Tromso: November to March for the Northern Lights and the January film festival, plus May to July for the midnight sun. June to August: The midnight sun, hiking and cruise visits form a second season; I price weekends and cruise days higher and keep two-night minimums for road-trippers. November to December: The polar night begins, aurora tours are fully running and Christmas trips add demand, so I lift rates through December and keep three-night minimums. 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.
Running a twin-peaked aurora-winter and midnight-sun-summer curve with steep December to February rates, and defending the two shoulder troughs, mindful that Norway has no national licence but taxes ordinary lettings. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Tromso calendar before I make it. June to August: The midnight sun, hiking and cruise visits form a second season; I price weekends and cruise days higher and keep two-night minimums for road-trippers.

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

Kvaløya: Outside the city, with darker skies and nature; I price it for aurora hunters with cars who value privacy and space over central convenience. City centre (Tromsøya) and Tromsdalen get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Tromso, not the market average.
