PKF Forecasts Record Performance for U.S. Hotels
|
 | | Mark Woodworth, PKF Hospitality Research |
|
ATLANTA -- The U.S. lodging industry is expected to achieve an occupancy level of 63.6 percent in 2014, topping the pre-recession peak of 63.1 percent reported by STR Inc. in 2006. That's the latest forecast from Atlanta-based PKF Hospitality Research.
Given this favorable balance between supply and demand, Mark Woodworth, president of PKF Hospitality Research, predicts that hotel owners and operators will begin to see a real (inflation-adjusted) recovery in average daily rate (ADR) and net operating income (NOI).
"The domestic hotel industry is operating at peak performance. We can stop using the term 'recovery,'" emphasizes Woodworth. "The U.S. lodging industry is at a place in the business cycle where a confluence of market and operational factors will lead to impressive performance on both the top and bottom line. In 2014 and 2015, our firm is forecasting several all-time highs for some of the most important metrics in the hotel business."
By year-end 2015, PKF projects that the U.S. lodging industry will have achieved the following milestones:
* A fourth year of accommodated demand in excess of the pre-recession peak of 11.3 million room nights
* Six consecutive years of increasing occupancy, the longest such streak since 1988
* An occupancy level of 64.6 percent, the highest level of occupancy since 1995
* Fifteen of the 55 markets tracked by PKF in its Hotel Horizons report are expected to achieve their highest occupancy levels in the past 25 years
* Five consecutive years of real ADR growth, leading to a full recovery in real terms from pre-recession levels
* Six consecutive years of real gains in revenue per available room (RevPAR).
* Six consecutive years of real NOI gains, leading to a real recovery from pre-recession levels.
"Most everyone is enjoying the benefits of life in the sweet spot. However, it is natural for people to begin to worry about their ability to sustain such peak performance," points out Woodworth.
