According to data compiled by STR Global, hotels in the Asia Pacific region experienced positive results in all three key performance metrics for May 2012 when reported in US dollars.
In year-on-year measurements, the Asia Pacific region’s occupancy increased 2.3% to 65.5%, its ADR increased 1.0% to US$135.85 and its RevPAR was up 3.3% to US$88.94.
“The majority of Asian markets continued to report RevPAR increases for the month,” said STR Global Managing Director Elizabeth Randall. “The Indian markets remained under pressure as the markets had to cope with increasing supply and slowing local economic conditions.”
