HotStats MENA Chain Hotels Market Review November 2015, January 8, 2016
Performance levels plunge for Dubai and Sharm El Sheikh hotels. Five and four star hotels in Dubai continued to
experience weakening average room rates (ARR) in November, falling 6.9% to US$315.03, whilst occupancy levels
remained strong, albeit marginally lower than the same period last year at 84.9%. The 8.1% decrease in revenue
per available room (RevPAR) was compounded by significantly lower food and beverage revenues which fell 12.0%,
driving total revenue per available room (TRevPAR) 10.9% lower, to US$449.80. Higher operating expenses
compounded lower overall revenues, reducing gross operating profit per available room (GOPPAR) by 15.8% to
US$214.83.
