Bangkok enjoys a January record

By TTR WEEKLY

 

  

LONDON, 5 March 2019: Bangkok’s hotels set a January occupancy and revenue record, while Hong Kong reports the second highest occupancy, according to STR latest assessment of the hotel business across Asia-Pacific.

 

STR samples 63,000 hotels and 8.5 million rooms worldwide for its market data and in January it showed hotels in the Asia Pacific region reporting mixed results during January across the three key performance metrics (occupancy, average daily rate and revenue per available room RevPAR).

 

Based on US dollar constant currency for January, compared with the same month last year, Asia-Pacific’s occupancy performance dropped 1.3% to 65.9%.

Why is it EVERY month there are articles like this ("Record highs in hotel occupancy," "Most travelers EVER") yet everyone I know in the hotel business tells me otherwise?
