« Europe was the second region after Asia/Pacific which reported RevPAR growth in December 2009″, said Elizabeth Randall, managing director of STR Global. « Since then, we have seen monthly RevPAR improvements driven by occupancy and ADR growth. Compared to the year-to-November 2008 results, Europe’s year-to-date occupancy is just off 1.4 percentage points and the region is €8 behind year-to-date 2008. The performance of key cities across Europe can be attributed to the wider economic conditions in the respective countries or supply increases. For instance, Athens, Copenhagen, Dublin, Moscow and Oslo reported year-to-date RevPAR declines, while Amsterdam, Tel Aviv and London grew the strongest this year (in local currency) ».
