Egypt enjoys 70.1% increase in Average Daily Rate

Egypt has posted a 70.1% increase in average daily rate, according to figures released by industry analysts STR.

shutterstock_552949351Egyptian hotels posted a 70.1% increase in average daily rate (ADR) to EGP1,185.53, as of August. While the country’s ADR has remained above EGP1,000 each month since November 2016, the devaluation of the Egyptian pound has significantly inflated figures.

When reported in US dollars, Egypt’s ADR declined 17.2% for the January to August 2017 time period, dropping to an actual level of US$66.54. Occupancy, on the other hand, rose 17.2% to 52.7%.

At the market level, Cairo posted an 8.5% increase in occupancy and a 72.5% increase in ADR (-16.2% in US dollars), resulting in 87.2% growth in revenue per available room (RevPAR) to EGP997.58.

Although Sharm El Sheikh recorded a 13.9% increase in occupancy for the first eight months of the year, the market’s actual occupancy level was only 40.4%. STR analysts note that security concerns continue to hinder Sharm El Sheik’s hotel demand.

“Across Africa, we’ve seen mixed performance results to date,” said Thomas Emanuel, STR’s director of business development.

“In local currencies, rates are up in several countries, including Egypt, Morocco and South Africa, but in many instances, you need to consider exchange rates to see the full picture. Meanwhile, some other markets are already experiencing performance declines as a result of supply growth, such as Nigeria, Ethiopia and Algeria, so it will be very interesting to see how these markets respond as more rooms continue to come online.”
