What is STR?

STR is the source for premium data benchmarking, analytics and marketplace insights for the tourism and accommodations industry. STR provides benchmarking reports to accommodations owners & operators so you can track your monthly performance in Occupancy, ADR (average daily rate), and RevPAR (revenue per available room) versus your competitors and/or your local market.  


Why sign-up? 

This forward-looking benchmarking tool provides insightful reports that allow hoteliers to get ahead of recovery, strategize more effectively, and complete the overall performance picture, helping you to see if your property is growing year over year, and make better rate management and budgeting decisions.

Your participation not only assists your property in creating better revenue management strategies, but the aggregated market data is invaluable to your local associations when lobbying for tourism-friendly legislation and preparing marketing strategies to promote tourism in your destination.
