Beyond RevPAR: Where APAC hotel growth is winning – and losing – on profit

Session details:

Hotel revenues across Asia are recovering, but RevPAR alone is now a dangerously incomplete signal. Rising booking and labor costs mean two hotels can post identical revenue growth and land worlds apart on actual profit, depending only on channel mix, labor deployment, and distribution strategy alone.Drawing on proprietary HotStats data across China, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea, this session unpacks where the region's growth is genuinely accretive to owners and where it masks margin erosion. The session benchmarks GOPPAR, GOP margin, labor costs, and undistributed expenses that are eating into profits in every department, giving investors a sharper lens for underwriting and portfolio benchmarking beyond top-line optics.
