January 27, 2015

As 2014 came to a close, it was an exciting year to be a part of RoomKeyPMS and the hospitality industry as a whole. President and COO of STR Amanda Hite is forecasting a record setting end to 2014 with average daily rate and revenue per available room both expected to end at the highest rates that STR has seen since its inception in 1987 and occupancy ending at 64.4%, an industry level not seen since 1996.

The STR predictions for 2015 are looking even brighter for the hospitality industry including:

  • Occupancy to rise 1.1% to 65.1 percent
  • ADR to increase 5.0 percent to US$121.37
  • RevPAR to grow 6.2 percent to US$79.06
  • Demand is expected to increase 2.4 percent
  • Supply is predicted to increase 1.3 percent in 2015

As the hospitality industry is ended off year on a high note, so did RoomKeyPMS. 2014 was another memorable yearwith tremendous growth, expansion and new partnerships.
