As the end of 2019 approaches, the CANADIAN LODGING MARKET is seeing a marked slowdown from the average 5.0% annual RevPAR growth experienced in the previous six-year run. The RevPAR growth in 2019 is projected to decrease to 1.0%; several factors are contributing to this softer market. Although new supply nation wide is still very moderate in the 1.5% range this year, it is double that of the average of the same previous six years. Softer demand growth in 2019 has fallen to half of the previous average at 1.0% and the biggest contributor to the decrease in RevPAR decrease is the decrease in average rate growth. The average rate growth was closer to 4.0% in the six-year time run and in contrast to the 1.5% projected for 2019.
