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 Zagreb. Zagreb and Istria are two markets. Istria's coast sells weekly summer stays to German, Austrian and Italian families, and truffle season adds autumn. Zagreb is a city break with one of Europe's best Advent markets. I price the coast by the week and Zagreb around Advent.
If you own a home on the Istrian coast, a villa inland, or a flat in Zagreb, I check registration and build a separate plan for each: summer weeks on the coast, truffle-season weekends inland, and Advent and business demand in the capital.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Zagreb.
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.
“Zagreb and Istria are two markets. Istria's coast sells weekly summer stays to German, Austrian and Italian families, and truffle season adds autumn. Zagreb is a city break with one of Europe's best Advent markets. I price the coast by the week and Zagreb around Advent.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Istria is very quiet and Zagreb sees business visitors. I keep coastal homes at low floors or closed and price Zagreb for weekday business and short weekends.
Spring visitors arrive in Istria and INmusic lifts Zagreb in June. I price long weekends and Easter higher on the coast and lift the festival dates in the city.
German, Austrian and Italian holiday weeks fill the coast and the Pula and Motovun film festivals add events. I price coastal homes by the week with firm minimums.
White truffle season brings food travellers to inland Istria. I price hill-town homes for weekends around truffle fairs and lower coastal rates gradually.
Advent in Zagreb draws visitors from across the region. I price December weekends highest and keep weekday rates firm for business and short breaks.
Run Istrian coastal homes on weekly summer stays.
Price Zagreb Advent weekends as premiums.
Add truffle season in October for inland Istria.
Price Rovinj, Poreč and Pula separately.
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.

| Audit and roadmap | Audit, ranked gap report, strategy and 12-month calendar | Fixed fee, quoted |

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 coastal listing shows the walk to the sea and parking, since families driving from Germany and Austria choose by easy access and a space for the car.
Busiest in Zagreb: June to September on the Istrian coast, Advent in Zagreb, and truffle season in October. July to August: German, Austrian and Italian holiday weeks fill the coast and the Pula and Motovun film festivals add events. I price coastal homes by the week with firm minimums. Late November to early January: Advent in Zagreb draws visitors from across the region. I price December weekends highest and keep weekday rates firm for business and short breaks. 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, Advent premiums in Zagreb, and off-season floors. For hotel revenue management consulting, I check every recommendation against the Zagreb calendar before I make it. September to November: White truffle season brings food travellers to inland Istria. I price hill-town homes for weekends around truffle fairs and lower coastal rates gradually.
Zagreb and Istria are two markets. Istria's coast sells weekly summer stays to German, Austrian and Italian families, and truffle season adds autumn. That is the view I bring to hotel revenue management consulting in Zagreb.
Results depend on the property, the starting point and the season, so I do not promise a number. In Zagreb the first gains from hotel revenue management consulting usually come from the change with the clearest local signal: price Zagreb Advent weekends as premiums. I review progress against your own occupancy, ADR and RevPAR, not a market average.
Zagreb sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. July to August: German, Austrian and Italian holiday weeks fill the coast and the Pula and Motovun film festivals add events. I price coastal homes by the week with firm minimums. For hotel revenue management consulting in Zagreb, my distribution review covers each channel's cost, contribution and rate position, then recommends a mix.
For hotel revenue management consulting, i begin with 12 to 24 months of your own data, so the first findings are about your property in Zagreb, not the city. Add truffle season in October for inland Istria. Next: set coastal off-season floors.
Zagreb Upper and Lower Town: Close to the main square and the Advent markets. I price December weekends highest and keep a weekday business base the rest of the year. Rovinj and Poreč and Motovun and the Istrian hill towns get their own treatment. For hotel revenue management consulting, i review your comp set and rate position for your own part of Zagreb, not the market average.
