Virginia Beach, Virginia, continues to exceed 60 percent occupancy

U.S. HOTELS CONTINUED their gradual, week-by-week climb out of the COVID-19 slump during the week ending July 25. Occupancy and ADR rose again for 14 out of the last 15 weeks.

By the end of the week, occupancy reached 48.1 percent, down 37.9 percent from the previous year but up from 47.5 percent the previous week. ADR ended at $99.24, down 27.3 percent from the previous year and RevPAR ended at $47.75, down 54.8 percent year over year.
