Among STR’s top 25 markets, Oahu reported the highest occupancy at 84.4 percent in August, which was a 3.4 percent increase year over year. This hike was partially due to the fires that broke out on Maui in August which pushed occupancy to Oahu, STR reported in a weekly insight analysis. Among the lowest markets for occupancy were New Orleans and Houston at 45.7 percent and 56.8 percent, respectively.
According to STR, the top 25 markets had higher ADR and occupancy than all other markets in August.
