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 Zell am See. Zell am See and Kaprun have a true double season: skiing on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier and Schmittenhöhe in winter, and lake holidays in summer. German, Dutch and British guests book weeks. I run matched peaks with seven-night stays. Kaprun and Zell am See attract slightly different guests, one closer to the glacier and one by the lake. Pricing each by location helps both seasons earn fully.
If you own an apartment in Zell am See or Kaprun, I review how it competes in both seasons, check your tourist-tax setup, and build a plan where winter ski weeks and summer lake weeks each earn their full value, with clear shoulder floors in between.
The service in general is described on my hotel revenue management consulting page; this page covers how I apply it in Zell am See.
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.
The Kitzsteinhorn glacier opens early, bringing ski clubs and early-season training. I price short stays at a moderate level until Christmas week opens.
Holiday weeks for Dutch, German and British families stack across the season. I price each week by those holidays and keep Saturday changeovers with seven night stays.
The town skis on the glacier only and the lake is still cold. I drop to two or three night minimums and price modestly for passing travellers.
Lake families, cyclists and Gulf visitors fill Zell am See. I set weekly rates, lift the Ironman 70.3 weekend, and price lake-view homes above the rest.
Grossglockner road trips and hiking keep demand steady. I step weekly rates down and accept shorter stays after the school holidays end.
Price ski holiday weeks as the top winter bands.
Price July and August lake weeks.
Use 7-night minimums in both peaks.
Add Ironman 70.3 weekend.
Include Salzburg tourist tax.

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

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!

For hotel revenue management consulting, that is where my audit begins, because a finding here changes every recommendation after it. How the listing describes distance to the Schmittenhöhe lifts or the Kaprun glacier bus, because winter guests choose by ski access before they compare price.
