Considering the city of Lisbon, the revenue per available room (RevPar) between January and August of 2019 registered a slightly rise of 0.37% considering the homologous period of 2018, performing a total of € 89.10. This rise is justified by the growth of 1.93% of the average daily rate (ADR), which registered until the end of August € 112.63. This value had a special contribute of the 4 stars category, growing since the beginning of the year, which increased 4.33%, at the same time of a reduction of the occupancy rate of 2.75 pp.

Penalized by the decrease of 4 stars category, the general occupancy rate per room decreased 1.23 pp, falling from 80.34% to 79.11% between January and August, even with slightly improvements in 3 and 5 stars categories. Focusing only in the month of August, we can see a deterioration of all indicators, compensated by the performance of the 7 previous months.
