STR Global recently released its preliminary data for October 2015 for Dubai. As per the report, the performance indicates a decreases when compared with a strong October in 2014.
As per the report, there was an increase in supply of 5.7% and demand of 3.4%. However, there was a decline going forward with a 2.2% decrease in occupancy to 79.9%, 12.9% decrease in average daily rate to AED883.06 and finally a 14.8% decrease in revenue per available room to AED705.44.
A slowing in demand in Dubai can be attributed to shift of Eid al-Adha from October 2014 to September 2015. Despite decrease in occupancy, however, absolute occupancy remained above historic trends for the month. ADR in the market has continued to decline in year-over-year comparisons as the market prices more competitively to try to stimulate the traditional levels of high demand.
