Caribbean Hotel Profits Suffer In 2016


Scott Smtih
Atlanta, Ga. – CBRE Hotels Americas Research announced that the average Caribbean hotel in its survey sample suffered a 4.7 percent decrease in gross operating profit (GOP) during 2016, according to its newly released twelfth edition of Caribbean Trends® in the Hotel Industry.  

This decline in profitability follows four consecutive years of double-digit increases in GOP.

The decline in the bottom-line starts with the falloff in top line revenue.  During 2016, occupancy for the Trends® sample declined by 2.8 percent, along with a 0.2 percent decrease in average daily rate (ADR).  The net result was a 3.0 percent decline in RevPAR. 

All other revenue generating departments (food & beverage, other operated departments and miscellaneous income) also saw a loss in sales during the year, resulting in a 2.2 percent drop in total hotel operating revenue.

“A multitude of factors caused the decline in revenue for Caribbean hotels in 2016,” said Scott Smith, managing director, CBRE Hotels Consulting.  “These include new supply, currency exchange rates and the Zika virus.”
