3 Summer Performance by Key Markets RevPAR % Change, Local Currencies, June - August 2017 While nearly every major European hotel market posted growth this summer, for some this growth means recovery from a weak Istanbul (RevPAR +88%) and Brussels (RevPAR +25%) are both coming back from sharp declines in 2016 due to security concerns after multiple terror attacks. While both markets remain behind their 2015 RevPAR levels, they are beginning to close the gap. Istanbul s performance results are particularly high due to high inflation levels, as the Turkish lira hit an all-time low against the dollar in January Overall, markets in the Iberian Peninsula had a strong summer, with Lisbon, Madrid and Barcelona reporting double-digit ADR increases. Occupancy levels remained relatively in line with previous years for the Spanish markets, while Lisbon reported a marginal occupancy decline. Barcelona s August performance (RevPAR +22.0%) was notable, considering the terror attack that occurred as well as the political unrest with the Catalan independence movement. Most Eastern European markets experienced strong RevPAR growth. In Kiev and Bucharest, performance was largely driven by demand, with respective occupancy increases of 17.6% and 7.8%. Budapest, which is already a well-established tourist destination, maintained occupancy levels over 80% during the summer months. Hungary saw a 25.6% increase in ADR compared with the summer 2016 period. Rome was the only major market to post a drop in RevPAR. This is mainly due to declines in August, as the market hosted the European Society of Cardiology Congress in August 2016, which took place in Barcelona this year (and likely contributed to Barcelona s RevPAR increase in August). 15 Lisbon 8 Dublin 24 Madrid 11 Helsinki 12 Edinburgh Amsterdam London 25 Brussels 4 Paris 3 Zurich 18 Barcelona Copenhagen 7 9 Berlin 8 Prague 5 Vienna 0 Rome Warsaw 27 Budapest 24 Belgrade 10 St. Petersburg 29 Kiev 14 Bucharest 5 Athens 7 Moscow 88 Istanbul
