“Waco has a steady tourism engine in Magnolia Market at the Silos, which brings visitors almost every weekend. Baylor football and commencement add sharp peaks, and July and August are hot and slower. I build a solid weekend base from Magnolia traffic and layer Baylor dates on top.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Waco books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.
Price Baylor home football and commencement weekends as premiums.
Use 2-night weekend minimums near the Silos and downtown.
Price homes by walkability to Magnolia Market.
Allow short weekday stays.
Lower July and August floors.

Magnolia visitors and winter trips keep weekends steady; I hold weekend rates and allow short weekday stays for business and family visitors.
Spring break, Magnolia events and Baylor commencement fill weekends; I price graduation weekend early with two-night minimums and keep spring Saturdays firm.
Summer heat slows leisure travel, so I lower floors, offer midweek discounts and price for families on road trips through Texas.
Baylor football at McLane Stadium and homecoming drive the busiest weekends; I price each home game separately and protect Saturdays with minimum stays.
Holiday visits and winter commencement keep demand moving; I price graduation weekend modestly higher and use short stays to fill the rest of the month.
One person does the thinking on your account. Choose the kind of help your property in Waco needs; everything is remote, 1-on-1 and scheduled in your time zone.
For a Waco owner I review the permit status and the home's position near the Silos and Baylor, then build a weekend base from Magnolia demand and layer football and commencement on top. We set floors and minimum stays together so July, August and weekdays are not left behind.
My Waco setup in PriceLabs or Wheelhouse starts from a Magnolia weekend baseline, then adds Baylor football, homecoming and both commencements as separate events, softer summer rates and weekday offers. Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com all price from that calendar, so guests see the same logic everywhere.
Waco hotels compete for Magnolia tourists, Baylor families and business travellers along the I-35 corridor. With my five-star hotel background I help set event restrictions, graduation and football blocks, weekend packages and a comp set chosen by distance to the Silos and campus.

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!
Airbnb host
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!
Airbnb host
Yes, it brings steady weekend visitors. Alaa builds weekend pricing around that demand.
As a premium weekend, opened early, with 2-night minimums.
Yes. Homecoming weekend brings alumni, families and visitors to campus and downtown, with a parade and bonfire tradition that fills the town. I price it among the top football weekends of the season, with two-night minimums for homes close to Baylor and the Silos.
Both, but the balance depends on location. Homes near the Silos and downtown rely more on Magnolia tourists, while homes near campus gain more from football and graduation. I set prices to match the stronger segment for each home and use the other as a secondary layer.
Yes. Alaa has optimized 100+ properties in and around Waco, from single Airbnb listings and small hotels to management companies running hundreds of units. Everything is remote on Zoom, scheduled in Central Time (UTC-6).
