The New Zealand hotel market recorded another positive month, with nationwide growth in revenue per available room (RevPAR) of 10.7% year on year.
The New Zealand hotel market recorded a strong performance in September, with nationwide revenue per available room (RevPAR) rising 10.7% compared to the same month in the previous year, as reported by Hotel Data New Zealand. This represents the highest monthly growth rate recorded since December 2023.
However, the increase effectively returns performance to September 2023 levels, following a 10% decline during September of the previous year.
The growth was primarily attributed to demand generated by events, along with increased visitor arrivals from across the Tasman. These factors resulted in higher occupancy rates in major cities and selected regional locations.
