September 15, 2009 - While the occupancy forecast for 2009 is slightly stronger than the company predicted in June, it comes at the expense of room rates, says Scott Berman, hospitality and leisure industry analyst for PricewaterhouseCoopers. Occupancy is expected to come in at 55.5% in 2009, up from the June forecast of 55.1%. 2010 occupancy is forecasted at 56.1%. "While the beginning of the recovery for hotels is expected to be primarily demand driven, as the recovery gains momentum, rate strategies implemented by hotels will have an increasingly important role in the magnitude and speed of this recovery," "Discounting is now a fact of life for Revenue Managers but deciding when, why and to whom to offer discounts while protecting other potentially higher rated segments is a huge challenge," Said Carol Verret. "What's more, the drive to value by both leisure and corporate consumers is not likely to end in 2010."
