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 near-term outlook is favorable, particularly as area development projects ramp up and as the new supply pipeline gains momentum. Despite the expectation of softening occupancy levels in the near term, key economic indicators, including the booking pace at the OCCC and the anticipated opening of the Epic Universe theme park in May 2025, support an overall positive outlook for this market.
