Trip.com optimization for hotels is the work I do to make a property rank, convert and price correctly on Trip.com. I adapt your content for the Chinese and Asian traveler, set up promotions and flash sales, and manage the service signals Trip.com scores.
What I plan around in Zakopane: skiing and the FIS ski-jump World Cup at the Wielka Krokiew; the Tatra peaks, the Gubalowka ridge and the Kasprowy Wierch cable car; the Morskie Oko lake and Podhale Goral mountain culture; the shops and grilled oscypek cheese along Krupowki street. Guests I price for: Polish and central-European families and groups on week-long winter-ski and summer-hiking stays, concentrated near Krupowki and the trailheads. Where I start: Running a dual ski-and-hike season with sharp Christmas, New Year and school-holiday premiums, floor-pricing the two shoulders in Poland's busiest mountain resort.
Zakopane sells mostly through Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia. Zakopane hotels and guesthouses balance families, groups, ski packages and summer hikers. With my five-star hotel background I help them plan holiday allotments, set package prices for ski and spa stays, and protect peak weeks for direct bookings rather than releasing everything early to operators.
The service in general is described on my trip.com optimization page; this page covers how I apply it in Zakopane.
These guests look for different things first. I rewrite content and highlight what they value, from payment and language support to specific facilities.
I order photos so the property card works for this audience and flag shots that do not suit it.
Trip.com runs on campaigns. I decide which promotions and flash sales earn their cost and structure rate plans to match.
Service scores and reply speed influence placement. I set response routines and fix the causes behind low scores.
“Zakopane is Poland's busiest mountain resort, with ski season, festive weeks and summer Tatra hiking. Polish families and groups stay a week, and the ski-jump World Cup adds a winter spike. I run a dual season with sharp holiday premiums.”
Alaa Elhadi, revenue management consultant. Cornell certified, 18 years in hotel and short-term rental revenue.
Christmas, New Year's Eve and the start of the ski season fill every chalet, so I price the whole period as one block with week-long minimums and no late discounts.
Polish winter school holidays are staggered by region over several weeks, so I load each regional window and keep week-long stays for families who book well ahead.
Late snow and Easter bring some demand, so I price Easter and sunny ski weekends higher and accept shorter stays during the quieter weeks.
The May long weekend and Corpus Christi fill quickly with hikers, so I price those holidays individually and keep ordinary weekdays close to the floor.
Tatra hiking season and summer holidays fill the town again, so I price for week-long family stays and keep a premium on homes close to the trailheads.
Autumn colours bring some hikers in September, then November is quiet, so I set a careful floor and offer weekend breaks with the Bukowina thermal baths in mind.
Trip.com is the leading channel for Chinese outbound travel, and its guests book differently, expect different services and reward different signals. If your market receives these visitors, a profile written for them is a separate piece of work, not a translation.
Price Christmas, New Year and school holidays as top bands.
Add the ski-jump World Cup weekend.
Price July and August hiking weeks.
Price homes near Krupówki and trailheads higher.
Set shoulder floors.
A new Trip.com listing
You have just connected Trip.com and want it to rank and convert from the first weeks, not after months of guessing.
Views but few bookings
Visibility looks fine and conversion does not, which usually means content, photos or rate plans on Trip.com.
Commission without much return
You pay Trip.com commission and its share of bookings is small next to your other channels.
A portfolio with uneven quality
Some listings are polished on Trip.com and others were never finished, and nobody owns the standard.
Send me the Trip.com listing or property links and your channel manager. I check how the property ranks and reads today before we speak.
A scorecard for Trip.com: content, photos, rates and promotions, policies and reviews, with every fix ranked by impact.
I make the changes live on Zoom in your Trip.com account or through your channel manager, and explain each one so you can maintain it.
Step 4
About 30 days later I look at impressions, conversion and booking share on Trip.com and adjust what the numbers say to adjust.
I quote Trip.com optimization per property after a short chat. You get a fixed scope and price before any work starts.
| Option | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single property | Trip.com optimization for one property | Quoted |
| Several properties | One scope and one price for a group on Trip.com | 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!
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!

Busiest in Zakopane: December to February for skiing and the festive weeks, and July and August for Tatra hiking. Late December to early January: Christmas, New Year's Eve and the start of the ski season fill every chalet, so I price the whole period as one block with week-long minimums and no late discounts.

Polish and central-European families and groups on week-long winter-ski and summer-hiking stays, concentrated near Krupowki and the trailheads. Demand is driven by the shops and grilled oscypek cheese along Krupowki street and skiing and the FIS ski-jump World Cup at the Wielka Krokiew.
Near Gubałówka and the Wielka Krokiew: Close to the funicular and the ski jump; I add a premium on World Cup weekend and price the rest of winter for skiers. Krupówki and the centre and Kościelisko get their own treatment.

How the listing handles parking and the road from Kraków, since many guests arrive by car on the busy Zakopianka and value a guaranteed space near the centre. For Trip.com optimization for hotels, i check this on Trip.com first, because it decides whether the listing is allowed to rank at all.
