Pipeline

The total number of hotel rooms currently under construction, in planning, or in the final planning stages in a given market. Pipeline data is tracked by STR and other research firms and indicates future supply additions that will affect competitive dynamics.

Why it matters: A large pipeline signals future supply pressure that could erode occupancy and rate gains. Revenue managers and asset managers monitor pipeline data to anticipate when new competitors will open and how the market's supply-demand balance will shift.
