| LODGING UPDATE Destination occupancy has filled-in for the remainder of the month, with more last-minute bookings over the past week. The next two weeks are pacing 1% behind in total occupancy, paid occupancy is 2% lower YOY, and average daily rate (ADR) is 2% higher, resulting in a 1% increase in revenue per available room (RevPAR). August is currently pacing 1% ahead in total occupancy and paid occupancy is flat, while ADR is 8% higher. The increases are most likely due to a majority of days over Labor Day/Film Festival falling in August rather than September as they did in 2023. This also creates a shift in September metrics, where total occupancy is currently pacing 13% behind last year, paid occupancy is down 22%, and ADR is 6% lower. September metrics indicate an opportunity for lodgers to offer specials or booking incentives to move the needle in a positive direction. With the summer marketing campaign live, and booking windows shorter than winter months, lodging metrics can change quickly. Stay tuned for up-to-date lodging forecasts in the weekly Peak Sheet to ensure your business is properly prepared! |

| AIR UPDATE Strong late bookings continue to fill for close-in travel, with July now up close to 15%, with August up 6%, and September now flat. Higher local usage on the added Denver capacity will result in lower tourism numbers than the above. Overall summer destination traffic is estimated to be up 10-12%. Winter flights are live, including the new route from Orange County (SNA) to MTJ with Breeze from December – March, five days weekly.
