Airbnb revenue management is the ongoing work of pricing every night, setting stay rules, managing channels and reporting results so a short-term rental earns what the market will pay. It goes beyond a one-time pricing setup: the strategy is reviewed and adjusted as demand, events and your own booking pace change.
Demand drivers in Carcassonne: the medieval Cite de Carcassonne; the Bastille Day Embrasement de la Cite; the Cathar castles of Montsegur and Peyrepertuse; Festival de Carcassonne. Typical guests: heritage travellers and touring families on 2 to 4 night stays in the walled Cite and the Bastide Saint-Louis lower town. Where the work starts: a concentrated summer peak around the Cite and its 14 July fireworks, dispersed Cathar-castle touring, and French meuble de tourisme registration.
Carcassonne Airbnb pricing comes down to two numbers: the July 14 night and the weeks either side of it. We open those dates with a three-night minimum and a high floor well ahead, then let the minimum relax as the date approaches if gaps appear. Shoulder months reward flexible two-night stays for touring guests, and Cité-view listings should never be priced off the town-wide average because their audience is willing to pay for the view.
The full service is described on our airbnb revenue management page; this page covers how it applies in Carcassonne.
