A watan Mayu 2019, Otal din Hawaii statewide reported that revenue per available room (RevPAR) was flat overall compared to May 2018. A small increase in average daily rate (ADR) helped to counterbalance a small decline in occupancy.

According to the Hawaii Hotel Performance Report published by the HTA, statewide RevPAR was $203 (+0.3%), with ADR of $256 (+1.3%) and occupancy of 79.2 percent (-0.8 percentage points) (Figure 1) in May.

In May, Hawaii hotel room revenues statewide were down 1.2 percent to $339.3 million. There were nearly 26,000 fewer available room nights (-1.5%) in May and approximately 34,000 fewer occupied room nights (-2.5%) compared to a year ago (Figure 2). Several hotel properties across the state were closed for renovation or had rooms out of service for renovation during May.
