Central/South America

Quito, Ecuador
- Occupancy: -1.3% to 58.3%
- ADR: -5.1% to US$94.54
- RevPAR: -6.3% to US$55.11
Demand in the market was up 4.0% from last May, but a 5.4% rise in supply placed further pressure on occupancy and ADR levels, which have remained low in the market since the devastating earthquake of April 2016. May occupancy levels from 2012-15 were roughly 70% or higher each year. Since that point, May occupancy has not reached 60%.
San Jose, Costa Rica
- Occupancy: -2.8% to 64.8%
- ADR: +7.3% to CRC59,573.88
- RevPAR: +4.4% to CRC38,605.75
According to STR analysts, demand declines in four of five months this year could be due to traveler perceptions around safety and crime in the country. However, that slowdown is not expected to continue—Oxford Economics forecasts 10.0% growth in international arrivals for 2019.
