The absolute occupancy, ADR and RevPAR levels were the highest for any April in STR’s Vienna database. STR analysts attribute a 6.2% rise in demand (room nights sold) to multiple events hosted in the market, such as the European Congress on Leukemia (4-5 April) and the EGU General Assembly 2019 (7-12 April).
Bucharest, Romania
- Occupancy: +1.0% to 71.3%
- ADR: +14.5% to RON414.92
- RevPAR: +15.7% to RON295.98
STR analysts tied the performance to several events related to Romania’s EU Council presidency, including the Ministerial conference “Sustainable Tourism – Common Policies of EU Member States” (1-4 April), which led to a 141.5% rise in RevPAR on 4 April.
