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 Victoria. Victoria and Vancouver Island are two stories. Victoria falls under BC's principal-residence rules, so many investor units have moved to mid-term. Smaller communities like Tofino are treated differently and sell surf summers and winter storm watching. Whale season and ferry travel shape demand across the island.
For Vancouver Island owners I check the provincial rules first, since Victoria and smaller communities are treated differently. Then I build the right model for the property, nightly or monthly, with a plan for summer peaks and the long winter.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Victoria.
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.

Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Victoria shifts to monthly stays and government visitors, while in Tofino I price storm-watching weekends and the holiday period as a small winter season.
Gray whales return and spring flowers arrive early, so I lift weekends gradually and price the Easter and Victoria Day long weekends as premiums.
Whale watching, cruise calls and summer ferry traffic fill the island, so I hold firm rates, use minimum stays on weekends and avoid any late discounts.
Tofino storm season begins and Victoria stays fairly steady, so I keep weekend rates firm and offer weekday deals as the island goes quiet.
Confirm principal-residence status for Victoria properties.
Build mid-term rates for non-principal Victoria units.
Price Tofino storm-watching winters as a second season.
Price summer whale-watching months firmly.
Align stays with ferry travel patterns.
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.

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!
