HotStats MENA Chain Hotels Market Review – November 2015

Performance levels plunge for Dubai and Sharm El Sheikh hotels. Five and four star hotels in Dubai continued to experience weakening average room rates (ARR) in November, falling 6.9% to US$315.03, whilst occupancy levels remained strong, albeit marginally lower than the same period last year at 84.9%. The 8.1% decrease in revenue per available room (RevPAR) was compounded by significantly lower food and beverage revenues which fell 12.0%, driving total revenue per available room (TRevPAR) 10.9% lower, to US$449.80. Higher operating expenses compounded lower overall revenues, reducing gross operating profit per available room (GOPPAR) by 15.8% to US$214.83.

HotStats MENA Chain Hotels Market Review – July 2015

Abu Dhabi Hotels reported a 27.2% growth in revenue per available room (RevPAR) to US$73.01 in July, driven by a 10.5 percentage point rise in occupancy levels to 60.8%. The improvement in RevPAR can also be attributed to an average room rate (ARR) growth of 5.2% to US$120.05. The rise in room revenues helped offset the decline in food and beverage sales during the month and translated to a 19.9% increase in total revenue per available room (TRevPAR). A growth in overall revenue helped hotels in the city increase gross operating profit per available room (GOPPAR) to US$11.40.

HotStats MENA Chain Hotels Market Review – November 2014

Hotels in Dubai have reported weakening performance trends, as revenues per available room (RevPAR) declined by 6.6% to US$ 340.06 for the month of November compared to the same period last year, according to the latest HotStats data. The contraction in room revenues was due to a softening of occupancies which retracted by 1.1 percentage points to 86.7%, but led largely by a decline in average room rates (ARR) of 5.5% to US$ 392.37. The drop in room revenues also caused a decline in total revenues per available room (TRevPAR) by 2.3% to US$ 602.70, but was compensated in some part by an increase in food and beverage revenues that rose by 4.8% for the period. Profitability levels were under pressure as some key cost items such as payroll and sales and marketing inched higher for the period, causing gross operating profit per available room (GOPPAR) to contract by 4.3% to US$ 316.36.
