HOTEL MARKET PERFORMANCE - Q4 2019
Helsinki
Of the Nordic capitals, Helsinki has experienced the largest performance increase driven by an incredible strong October and supported by strong growth in November. The growth results were achieved despite of a decline in performance in December. Overall the occupancy level remained rather stable for the quarter, with a small drop of 0.7% to 72%. The ADR level improved by 6.9% to EUR 125, resulting in RevPAR improving by 6.1% to EUR 90.
In October, both an increase of 4.8% in occupancy to 79% and a significant rise in ADR by 15.1% to EUR 127, led RevPAR to improve significantly by 20.6% to EUR 100.
Although in November occupancy decreased by 1.5% to 77.3%, the increase in ADR by 10.8% to EUR 133 resulted in a RevPAR improvement of 9.1% to reach EUR 103.
In December, however, performance ceased to improve. Instead, occupancy decreased by 6.5% to 59.7% and ADR dropped by 7.7% to EUR 110, resulting in a significant RevPAR decrease of 13.7% to attain merely EUR 66.
