According to recent data, the hotel industry is experiencing a significant decline in occupancy rates. The 4-week average of the occupancy rate has dropped by an astonishing 0.4% compared to last year’s numbers. This decrease is particularly concerning given that the median occupancy rate for the period spanning 2000 through 2024 was 65.1%. Currently, hotels are struggling to fill rooms, with a mere 64.7% of available spaces occupied.
The statistics paint a stark picture: in the past four weeks, hotel occupancy rates have averaged just 64.2%, a far cry from the 65.5% recorded during the same period last year. This decline is not limited to any particular region or type of hotel; instead, it appears to be a widespread issue affecting hotels across the board.
As the industry continues to grapple with these challenging numbers, it remains to be seen how hotels will adapt and respond to this shift in demand. One thing is certain, however: the current occupancy rate is a clear indication that something needs to change.

11h Last year in Rohoboth Beach DE you couldn’t find a room rate for under $600 a night on summer weekends.
Just checked the Marriott down there.
$341 a night this Friday and Saturday night. Still not sold out one day before the weekend.
The economy is slowing down.

Jul 4 Do you not see what is happening in every tourist destination in the USA. They are empty of tourists. Many hotels in Vegas laid off all employees and closed doors. Other cities have to lay off workers due to lack of $$ paying tourists. We have lost over $12 Billion. Wake up.
