Hotels in Hawaii saw no growth in November, with revenue per available room (RevPAR) on par with the same period last year, according to preliminary Hawaii Tourism Authority data.
Average daily rate (ADR) rose slightly across the state to $251, up 3% from November 2017, and the occupancy rate for the month was 76%, down roughly 3%.
Through the first 11 months of 2018, both RevPAR and ADR are up approximately 5% compared with 2017, while the occupancy rate has remained relatively flat at 80%.
Increases in ADR largely offset a drop in occupancy in November, according to the HTA report. Among the most visited islands, Kauai led the way with an 11% in ADR in November and Maui and the Island of Hawaii followed with 6% and 4% bumps in ADR respectively. Oahu's ADR was down less than 1 percentage point. Occupancy on Hawaii Island, still rebounding from a summer of natural disasters that choked off growth, was down roughly 7% in November compared with 2017.
