5. Occupancy in the Middle East And Africa Region Up 4.0% June 2013 July, 24 2013

 

The Middle East/Africa region reported positive performance results during June 2013 when reported in U.S. dollars, according to data compiled by STR Global.
The region reported a 5.9-percent increase in occupancy to 61.8 percent, a 4.0-percent increase in average daily rate to US$141.21 and a 10.1-percent increase in revenue per available room to US$87.21.
During the first half of 2013, the region reported increases in all three key performance metrics. Its occupancy rose 4.9 percent to 63.7 percent, its ADR was up 2.9 percent to US$166.64 and its RevPAR increased 8.0 percent to US$106.19.
“Hotels in the Middle East/Africa region achieved an 8-percent RevPAR increase in the first part of 2013, growing both in occupancy and ADR terms”, said Elizabeth Winkle, managing director of STR Global. “Lebanon continues to suffer collateral damage due to its geographic proximity to Syria. Year-to-date June 2013 hotels in the capital of Beirut have achieved an occupancy level of 53 percent, which is 10 percent lower than the same time last year, and an ADR of US$156.00, 21 percent lower than last year.
“Mauritius, which shares the Indian Ocean with other tropical paradises including the Seychelles, reported YTD occupancy of 63 percent which is a 6.9 percent decline from last year; however, ADR achieved US$227.00—an increase of 8.6 percent.”
