FW: RevMax Meeting for 3/24

 
 
RevMax Meeting for   3/ 24    

Forecast 

 

-January's  OccStat came in $30,521 under budget and $224,835 over LY.

-February  OccStat came in $118,081 under budget; $ 61,968 over  LY..

-March  decreased  $  17,000 to last week and is now at $  $179,913 under budget. 

-April   decreased by  $11,000  to last week 's forecast  and  is $ 13,930 over  budget.  

-May  came in  down to last weeks forecast by $  1,000and is  under budget by $ 14,138. 

-June's  came in over last week by $22,000 and is forecasted to come in under budget by $59,309. 

    We are very concerned about June's ADR. We are currently forecasting to come in under budget by $11.00. Group  We typically can maximize a higher ADR in June by pushing our Suite spread strategies. June is normally a high ADR month for the city. The economic downturn has pushed Denver into dramatic rate wars that are already showing an impact on June.
