Daily hotel performance figures for Cairo, Egypt, during the peak of the popular revolution demonstrate the dramatic impact of the demonstrations and political changes on the capital’s hotel industry.Cairo’s occupancy levels fell continuously after 29 January, four days after the first demonstrations started. The uncertainty and unstable security situation resulted in the majority of hotel guests leaving the city and only a very limited amount of visitors replacing them. The high demand from press and media organisations arriving to cover the unfolding story pushed up average daily rates (ADR).By the end of February, hotel performance had stabilised at very low levels, reporting occupancy below the 20% mark and average room rates of around LE750, which is on par with the same time last year. “A stable and secure environment is needed to bring visitors back to Egypt, and whilst it is not yet certain when demand will return to normal levels, it is recommendable for the hotels to continue with their current strategy of not dropping average room rates, as it will not stimulate additional demand to counterbalance a potential drop in revenue per available room,” commented Elizabeth Randall, managing director of STR Global.
