Year to date through April, occupancy was up 4.6 percent to 54.6 percent.
Revenue per available room (RevPar), an important industry gauge that measures how much money hotels are bringing in per available room, dipped 2 percent to $84.20 in April in the Mohawk Valley’s largest county versus April 2024. In the first four months of the year, RevPar gained 4.4 percent to $70.17.
