Editor's Notes
PricewaterhouseCoopers is forecasting a 3% growth in US hotel occupancy and a 10% increase in ADR by 2015. In Palm Beach County, where growth is typically faster than the US, room demand is expected to grow by 3.8% and ADR by 10%. This would put bed tax collections for the 2015 fiscal year at $34.3 million. With the new inventory coming online over the next few years room demand needs to outpace this new supply in order to grow hotel occupancy. Accounting for supply growth of 1.5%, hotel occupancy in PBC is expected to slow down to less than 1% over the 2014 and the 2015 calendar years. Competitive and targeted marketing deployment aligned with an approved tourism identity will be needed to address this supply surge as well as competition.
