Supply growth and demand growth during 2010 are both expected to increase 1.8 percent.
“The high-end business travelers will drive the shape of recovery almost certainly,” Lomanno added. “There has been substantial recovery at the high end of the market during the last couple of months.”
The outlook indicates that the industry’s performance will turn positive in 2011. STR projects increases in all three key performance metrics during 2011: Occupancy is projected to increase 2.2 percent to 56.3 percent; ADR is forecasted to rise 2.0 to US$96.28; and RevPAR is expected to grow 4.2-percent to US$54.18.
