Chairman,
NYC & Company


Last year was an historic year for New York City’s travel and tourism industry. We welcomed nearly 40 million people - an all time record that included new highs in domestic and leisure travel numbers, and after a three year decline, a double-digit surge in overseas visitor volume. Hotel occupancy was at its highest level in four years with a record 21 million room nights sold and today there is exciting hotel development taking place throughout the city. And there is more good news for the future, with construction of an expanded Javits Convention Center scheduled to begin later this year. Tourism clearly remains a vital and growing force for New York City’s future.

A review of the previous tables reveals the following:

  • The boutique segment registered the strongest growth in supply from 1999 through 2004, increasing at an average annual compounded rate of roundly 10%. All remaining segments exhibited supply increases below 2.0%, on an average annual compounded basis.
  • Despite significant increases in supply, the boutique segment was the only category to show a positive average annual compounded growth in terms of both average rate and RevPAR, during the historical period reviewed.
  • The boutique segment has shown stronger and earlier signs of recovery than the other segments, as evidenced by the positive RevPAR growth in both 2002 and 2003.
  • All of the segments achieved close to 2000 occupancy levels in 2004, except the boutique segment, which recorded occupancy levels slightly lower than what was attained in 2000.
  • In terms of average rate, the boutique segment is the only segment to register a positive average annual compounded change between 1999 and 2004.
  • All of the segments rebounded in 2004, and recorded significant growth in terms of both occupancy and average rate, resulting in RevPAR growth ranging from a low of roundly 19% in the boutique segment to a high of roundly 27% in the other segment. The tremendous recovery recorded in 2004 was more extensive than most industry experts anticipated, and indicates the strength of the Manhattan lodging market.
