March 2021 Hawaiʻi Hotels Performance Report

In March 2021, Hawai‘i hotels statewide reported similar revenue per available room (RevPAR), average daily rate (ADR), and occupancy compared to March 2020. Statewide RevPAR last month was $123 (-0.3%), ADR was $285 (+1.4%), and occupancy was 43.1 percent (-0.7 percentage points). This was the first time in a year where those performance indicators were not substantially down. However, results differed by county. Year-to-date, the statistics for statewide hotel RevPAR, ADR, and occupancy were much lower compared to the first three months of 2020 as Hawai‘i’s quarantine order for travelers due to the COVID-19 pandemic began on March 26, 2020, which immediately resulted in dramatic declines for the hotel industry.
