DATA INSIGHTS

2021 Trends Come Into View (Data Recency: May 31)

The trip purpose mix has been stable over the course of the year with one exception—the modest bump in business travel between April and May. Between April and May, the indexed volume of business bookings outpaced the overall index 15% to 20%, respectively. Similarly, Adara saw a significant shift in the booking window mix between April and May with bookings for leisure trips 16-20 days in advance increased 25% while the overall volume increased 20%.

US Domestic Leisure Travelers: Booking Window Mix 2021

Boosted by the Friday and Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, the U.S. hotel industry reported its highest weekly occupancy (61.8%) since the last week of February 2020. Saturday’s 83.0% occupancy level was the country’s highest since October 2019. Weekly ADR ($122.06) and RevPAR ($75.42) were boosted to pandemic-era highs as well. While the positives around leisure demand are obvious, the path to recovery remains a roller coaster with a lack of business travel, both domestic and international, preventing hotels in many markets from making up more of the ground lost in 2020.

Further reflecting reopening in parts of Europe, Belfast’s occupancy on the books jumped to more than 95% for this coming Saturday, 5 June. Additional weekend spikes are on the calendar as the market’s hotels benefit from pent-up leisure demand.
