3 April 215 Key Performance Highlights Hospitality markets in Cairo, Madina and Beirut witnessed a positive increase in April 215 Cairo continues to witness a double digit increase in RevPAR of 78.7% in April 215 when compared to the same period last year. This was mainly due to the increase in average occupancy from 35.% in April 214 to 49.% in April 215, which is ascribed to the Easter break holidays. In April 215, Madina witnessed a jump in average occupancy of approximately 7.% when compared to April 214, coupled with an increase in ADR from US$153 in April 214 to US$192 in April 215, resulting a rise in RevPAR of 36.9% during the same period last year. With the unceasing rise of tourism in Lebanon, Beirut s hospitality market continues to witness moderate growth. Beirut s hospitality market has witnessed an increase in RevPAR of 12.3% in April 215 when compared to the same period last year. This was mainly due to the increase in average occupancy from 51.% in April 214 to 56.% in April 215. Jeddah and Riyadh s hospitality market performance dropped when compared to the same period last year Jeddah s hospitality market witnessed a slight decrease in RevPAR of 9.% in April 215 as compared to April 214, this was mainly due to ADR dropping from US$262 in April 214 to US$257 in April 215, coupled by a slump in average occupancy from 78.% in April 214 to 73.% in April 215. Riyadh s hospitality market continues to drop in April 215, average occupancy declined by 6.% when compared to April 214. ADR dropped from US$224 in April 214 to US$219 in April 215, resulting in a decrease in RevPAR by 9.5% when compared to same period last year. Dubai continues to witness a drop in RevPAR compared to April 214 Hotels across Dubai witnessed a decrease in RevPAR by 12.5% in April 214 when compared to April 215. The city maintained a healthy occupancy of 84.2% in April 215 as compared to 85.4% in April 214, however the drop in ADR from US$326 in April 214 to US$289 in April 215 accounted to the major drop in the overall performance of the market. The overall hospitality market in Dubai has seen a softer performance with the hotels dropping room rates in order to maintain their occupancy levels. Abu Dhabi s hospitality market witnessed a positive increase in all Key Performance Indicators in April 215 In April 214, Abu Dhabi s occupancy increased from 84.% to 86.% in April 215. The surge in occupancy was coupled to US$236 in April 215, which resulted in an increase in RevPAR of 9.1% in April 215 when compared to the same period last year.
