The hotel industry supports The HOPE Act to give struggling small business hotels an opportunity to keep their doors open and avoid foreclosure. Currently, The HOPE Act continues to gain cosponsors, but we need your help to gain more support. Please join us in urging Members of Congress to cosponsor and quickly pass this legislation to keep hotels open for business and position America’s tourism industry to survive and recovery when the public health crisis subsides.
Members of Congress need to hear from YOU!

STR, AirDNA release full analysis of hotels and short-term rentals |
|
Key Findings:
- At the end of the studied period, hotel RevPAR in the 27 markets was 64.8% lower than the previous year. Short-term rental RevPAR, on the other hand, was down 4.5% year over year.
- Hotels bottomed out at 17.5% occupancy for the week ending 28 March, while short-term rentals fell to a low of 34.3%. Hotels were hit harder due to greater reliance on group demand and business travel. Largely a result of its further drop, hotel occupancy has since increased 124.0% from its low point.
- Occupancy decreases were felt uniformly within all 27 of the markets covered, with the exception of short-term rentals in Atlantic City. Among the worst-hit markets for both hotels and short-term rentals were New Orleans and Rome.
- Steeper declines in hotel average daily rate (ADR) came as travelers migrated toward Midscale and Economy class properties. Nashville and Austin were two markets to see more pronounced demand declines for higher-end hotels compared with the lower end of the market.
-
Through the early stages of performance recovery, regional markets have performed better than their urban counterparts for both hotels and short-term rentals. Key examples include Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge in Tennessee and Australia’s Gold Coast. str.com
