The absolute occupancy and RevPAR levels were the lowest for any year on record in STR’s U.K. database. Amid continued COVID-19 lockdowns around the country, December performance was down from the prior month, and the country’s 26.1% occupancy level was its lowest since May.

Each of the three key performance metrics were the lowest for any year on record in the Netherlands. Occupancy in the country fell to a low point in April (8.5%) but improved to as high as 44.2% in August thanks to domestic demand during the summer holidays. However, reflecting the impact of a new lockdown, December occupancy (14.2%) was the lowest for the country since May.
