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 Venice. Venice sells romance and events: Carnival, the Biennale, the Film Festival and Redentore. It also charges day-trippers an access fee on selected days, which changes how visitors plan and makes overnight stays relatively more attractive. Acqua alta can affect winter. I price the event calendar firmly and keep winter realistic.
For a Venice owner I look at access, event calendar and the realities of acqua alta and the access fee. Then I build a year from Carnival through the Biennale, Redentore and the Film Festival, with winter floors that keep the calendar alive.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Venice.
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.

Outside Christmas and New Year I set realistic floors, price the Festa della Salute on 21 November modestly, and mention acqua alta precautions so guests feel confident booking.
Carnival weekends fill the city, so I price them as the top winter band with minimum stays and open the dates as soon as the programme is announced.
Easter, the Vogalonga in May and Biennale opening weeks bring strong demand, so I hold firm and price the Biennale openings as a premium for art and architecture visitors.
The Redentore weekend in July is the summer highlight, so I price it as a premium, and keep other summer weeks firm but watch for heat-driven softening.
The Film Festival on the Lido, the Regata Storica and comfortable weather make this a peak, so I price it close to Carnival and hold minimum stays.
Price Carnival and Redentore weekends as premiums with minimum stays.
Add Biennale opening weeks and the Film Festival.
Price San Marco, Cannaregio and Dorsoduro on separate comps.
Watch access-fee days, when overnight guests have an advantage over day visitors.
Lower November to January floors outside Christmas.
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 the listing explains the access fee days and that overnight guests are exempt with proper registration, since clear wording reassures guests and supports overnight stays.
Busiest in Venice: Carnival in February, April to June, September to October, and the Biennale and Film Festival. July to August: The Redentore weekend in July is the summer highlight, so I price it as a premium, and keep other summer weeks firm but watch for heat-driven softening. September to October: The Film Festival on the Lido, the Regata Storica and comfortable weather make this a peak, so I price it close to Carnival and hold minimum stays. 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.
Carnival and Biennale premiums with minimum stays, day-tripper-fee season awareness, and winter floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Venice calendar before I make it. July to August: The Redentore weekend in July is the summer highlight, so I price it as a premium, and keep other summer weeks firm but watch for heat-driven softening.
Venice sells romance and events: Carnival, the Biennale, the Film Festival and Redentore.

Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Venice the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: add Biennale opening weeks and the Film Festival. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Venice sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. March to June: Easter, the Vogalonga in May and Biennale opening weeks bring strong demand, so I hold firm and price the Biennale openings as a premium for art and architecture visitors.

Lido: The beach island and Film Festival home; I price late August and early September at its peak and summer beach weeks for families. Castello and Giudecca get their own treatment.
