Booking Pace
(October) :
MARKET OVERVIEW:We leave October behind with, from an economic point of view, a sigh of relief. The partial shutdown of the federal government,and the debt ceiling negotiations that
accompanied it, provided good reason to feel edgy about the economy. Though the full impact of these events is not yet realized, we do know that employers far exceeded expectations for the
month, while conversely consumers dropped their confidence level to its lowest since the early part of 2013. Amidst all of this, Wall Street was apathetic, paying closer attention to earning
statement than Washington and for the most part confident that clearer heads would prevail and, if they did not, the Federal Reserve would continue to be there. Despite the decline in consumer
confidence, only a moderate impact was felt in the mountain travel industry. Based on aggregate data from all DestiMetrics destinations, occupancy for October is up 8.8 percent versus the same
time last year, while rate is also up 7.9 percent for the month. Bookings taken in October for arrival in October were up 11.0 percent (not shown). Locally, Vail Occupancy was up a dramatic 24.0
percent in October versus 2012, with an increase in rate of 8.5 percent. Vail's aggregate historic six month (May -October) occupancy (not shown) was up a moderate compared to 2012 increasing
by 3.4 percent while rate also increased by 2.8 percent. Bookings taken in October for arrival in October were up 21.0 percent (not shown).
LOOKING FORWARD:We are looking ahead to the holiday shopping and travel season with mixed emotions as consumer behavior and confidence –seemingly more acutely aware of the economy than
Wall Street is –sit on a teeter-totter, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Though government has bought enough time to supportretailers through the holiday shopping season, round two of budget and
debt ceiling negotiations will come up in January and February 2014, respectively. Fortunately for the mountain travel business, good snow equity from last season and fresh snow in many resorts have
consumers buzzing and rooms being booked. Some surprising jumps in rate over the holidays seem to be holding fast as lodgerstest the marketplace and, at least for the next eight weeks, we can breathe
more easily and look to recover what was lost last December. Based on the aggregate of DestiMetrics industry-wide data, on-the-books aggregate occupancy for all destinations for the upcoming six months
(November –April) is up 8.7 percent, while rate is also up somewhat 5.1 percent from the same period last year. Meanwhile, bookings made during October for arrival October –March are up 2.2 percent
compared to the same period in 2012/13.Locally, Vail on-the-books Occupancy for November is up 12.3 percent with an increase in rate of 5.6 percent compared to 2012. For the most part,
economics 101 seems to be in play for the other five months on-the-books, with occupancy gaining in four of the five months while rates are up in all five months. Occupancy gains are led by
February (9.9 percent) and March (8.7 percent). Occupancy for six months on-the-books (November -April) in aggregate has increased 7.2 percent while rate has also increased by 6.2 percent.
Bookings taken in October for arrival October through March are down -0.3 percent, with gains in four of the six months in scope.
