After gaining an avg of 1.5 nights in 2021 vs 2019, Length of Stay dropped sharply in '22. Regardless of arrival date, bookings made in Oct were 0.09 nights longer than Oct '19, and Avg LOS for '22 is up just 0.3 nights, almost reversing the pandemic trend. @Inntopia

Ongoing soft bookings, declining occupancy, and record room rate is a bad combination. The data are clear: consumers are pulling back vs pre-pandemic baselines in mountain resorts (forget vs 2021 surge). Our May 31 @Inntopia DestiMetrics report:

Occupancy up 11.7%. Room Rate up 25.3% and revenue up 40% - versus the record. December was incredible at West mountain resorts and Jan-Apr is much of the same. The @Inntopia Dec 31 DestiMetrics data are here corp.inntopia.com/ample-fres…
As complexity of reopening destination resorts becomes clearer, hopes of doing so in May are diminishing for properties. 70% of closed properties expect to fully reopen June 1-15, a big increase. 10% are expecting May 1-15 and 13% May 16-31, both big declines. @Inntopia

A panel of hoteliers agreed that Airbnb’s ability to sell experiences along with room rentals puts it ahead of the hotel industry in giving experience-minded guests what they really want.

4 questions to ask yourself regularly: 1) Who is seeing your data? 2) Is your data provider completely free of bias? 3) Is your data completely secure? 4) Is your data structured to well-established industry standards? If you're not 100% on ALL of these you've got a
problem.
