As hotels continue to slowly re-open, our industry’s shift back to a sense of normalcy has left many hoteliers wondering, “What now?”
At myDigitalOffice, we’re helping hoteliers answer that question by providing a glimpse into the future. According to the newest data from our recently released MAPP report, the industry’s first and only free resource that leverages forward-looking bookings data to identify recovery trends in real time, the future continues to see green shoots.
We’ve been monitoring booking pace patterns for the upcoming July 4th holiday weekend, as many travelers across the US plan to venture out to coastal towns and other popular tourist destinations. For the holiday weekend, the below chart illustrates an upward trend in occupancy levels throughout the months of May and June. However, as occupancies have climbed, rates have steadily, albeit slightly, decreased.
In Florida, occupancy levels are slightly higher than the average across the US, but their daily rates have remained in line with the rest of the country.
