In year-over-year measurements, the Asia/Pacific region’s occupancy dropped 10.8 percent to 56.2 percent; average daily rate declined 16.3 percent to US$111.85; and revenue per available room fell 25.3 percent to US$62.88.

“The recent tragic events in Jakarta unfortunately will impact hotel performance in Indonesia, which year-to-June was one of only two countries we track on the Asia Pacific Hotel Review to report positive RevPAR results (+8.1 percent) when reported in local currency”, said James Chappell, managing director of STR Global. “Bali and Jakarta were the only two markets to report RevPAR increases in the month of June and for the year-to-date in local currency”.

Sydney, Australia (-1.3 percent to 70.3 percent) and Brisbane, Australia (-1.0 percent to 78.2) also experienced minimal occupancy decreases. Four markets reported occupancy decreases of more than 20 percent: Bangkok, Thailand (-31.6 percent to 46.3 percent); Hong Kong, China (-24.8 percent to 59.7 percent); Phuket, Thailand (-24.8 percent to 36.4 percent); and Osaka, Japan (-21.5 percent to 58.5 percent).
