United States -  Orlando

World-class theme parks, major employers, and the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) represent the primary sources of demand in the greater Orlando market. The self-contained meeting and convention facilities of the city's massive resorts also generate significant visitation to the market. Over the last two decades before the pandemic, Orlando evolved from a high-60.0% occupancy market into one that achieved occupancy levels in the upper 70s. In 2023, occupancy remained near 73.0%, similar to the rebounding performance of 2022, as the OCCC marked a year of strong event attendance. However, the 2024 trend reflects some softening given the availability of alternate destinations and meeting/convention facilities in the post-pandemic period. ADR, on the other hand, surpassed $190 in 2023 and remained stable in 2024. The year-to-date performance through May 2025 illustrates stable occupancy levels and an increase in rate, due in part to the spring opening of the Epic Universe theme park and concurrent addition of 2,000 luxury hotel rooms affiliated with the new attraction. An increase of area development projects, the ramp-up of the new theme park, and the absorption of new hotel supply are factors that should positively influence the market's performance metrics.
