RevPAR Growth

The year-over-year percentage change in RevPAR, which captures the combined effect of occupancy and rate changes. Positive RevPAR growth means the hotel is generating more revenue per available room than in the same period of the prior year.

Why it matters: RevPAR growth is one top-line room-revenue lens. Interpret it with market, comp-set, mix, channel cost, profitability, rooms available, source, and like-for-like events; positive or negative growth alone does not prove revenue-management quality.
