Year to date, occupancy was off 1.1 percent to 56.1 percent.
Revenue per available room (RevPar), a key industry gauge that measures how much money hotels are bringing in per available room, rose 4.3 percent to $98.30 this June in the Mohawk Valley’s largest county versus June 2023. Through the first six months of this year, RevPar has increased 5.5 percent to $75.64.
