Fall shaping up well in the Smokies

[Collin Hays]

While most of this year has been a challenge, this fall is looking far better in the Smokies, at least for the properties that we manage.  Our daily pace report, which compares booked revenues to-date versus a year ago, shows the following:

September +19.4%

October +17.8%

November +19.1%

That doesn't mean this is where we end up for these months, just that more vacationers are planning ahead for stays, versus one year ago.  I'll take that as a "win" right now for sure.

Quote from @Patricia Andriolo-Bull:

Curious if this is an increase on ADR, occupant or both. BTW, my year to date has been on par with last year with ADR up a bit and occupancy down a bit (which I prefer) and my fall is looking stable given I’m in the hurricane prone area of SWFL. 

 ADR is comparable to last year.
