LODGING UPDATE

Blues and Brews weekend closed similar to 2023, with a 1% decrease in total occupancy (paid & owner) at 71%, a 2% decrease in paid occupancy, and a flat average daily rate (ADR) of $621. The next two weeks are pacing 5% behind in total occupancy, currently at 46%. Occupancy peaks during the last weekend of September. October total occupancy (through 10/20), is pacing 3% ahead of last year, while paid occupancy is flat. 
 
The winter forecast is similar to last week’s report, with total occupancy pacing 15% ahead of last season, an 8% increase in paid occupancy, and a 3% decrease in ADR. All months are tracking ahead, with the most growth in March (24% ahead), and the least growth in December (9% ahead). Stay tuned for weekly Peak Sheet updates, as these metrics can shift quickly as the winter season approaches. 

AIR UPDATE

Late summer bookings continue to hold strong, with September now 5-7% up and October back to even/just ahead YOY. Summer overall is up 10-12%, with noted added local usage on increased DEN capacity. The winter 24-25 air schedule is all but finalized, with capacities nearly identical to last winter 23-24.
