REVPAR: Room Revenue per available Room
In today’s dynamic scenario and ever changing economies it is necessary to evaluate the revenues and expenses of your hotels and keep track of records in an updated tabulated way. For the same, analysis of certain industry ratios like the Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), the Average Daily Rate (ADR) and the Occupancy Rate, it becomes quite convenient to make a comparison between the previous year and the present year. Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), is certainly the most crucial ratio popularly used to assess the …show more content…

Both are different as REVPAR is about revenue and GOPPAR is about profit. Hence it is contradictory that REVPAR portraits the country level captivity of the hospitality industry and therefore helps in analyzing the top line whereas GOPPAR effects the bottom line. http://www.performancemagazine.org/measuring-hotel-performance-revpar-versus-goppar/ GOPPAR addresses the cost allocation and control of management of the hotel and is a compulsion for formulating any proper room pricing strategy. Logically REVPAR is a rather ineffective measurement but the fact stays that it should not be the only tool for measuring the hotels revenue. http://www.ukessays.com/essays/tourism/front-office-department-and-the-yield-management-tourism-essay.php#ixzz3FZe3JBij Revenue Mix: REVPAR measures only the total rooms’ income generator and it doesn’t take into account revenues from other areas of the hotel. This resulted in an inaccurate analysis when comparing hotel performances.
Consequently arose the need for GOPPAR /PROFPAR which stated the total operating profit of the hotel and helps delve into numbers to survive in this competitive environment. http://dreamstech.in/ryh/revpar-goppar-profpar-which-is-a-key-metric/ By Elie Younes, Associate, HVS …show more content…

On the other hand, GOPPAR provides a rooted hint of a hotel's profitability by taking into regard management control and efficiency. In addition, GOPPAR offers an overall more sturdy performance measure, especially when comparing the financial performances of hotels with different sizes or in different markets. The use of GOPPAR as a addition to RevPAR for hotel performance will thus enable a more accurate basis for hotel investment appraisal than relying merely on

    In Be Our Guest, Inc.’s scenario, we can see that the total cash flow from operations increased from 1995, $168,000, to 1997, $229,000, by 37%. This increase to the CFO is a result of a few different accounts. Although net income decreased 22.8% from 1995 to 1997, because depreciation increased 25.8% from 1995 to 1997, the total net income adjusted for non-cash charges increased by 4% from $250,000 to $259,000, from 1995 to 1997. The changes to Accounts Receivable over the years reduce cash flow from operations by $75,000, $46, $42,633 in 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively.

    After finding the appropriate risk-free rates and risk premiums, we began finding the Betas for each division of Marriott (Exhibit 1). We began by selecting an appropriate proxy firm for each of Marriott's three divisions. Lodging was the first division we analyzed. La Quinta Motor Inns seem to be the best pure-play. La Quinta's operations consisted of strictily lodging. It owns, operates, and licences motor inns which matches well with Marriott's operations in the lodging division. In order to calculate the betas of this division, we had to find the cost of debt. The cost of debt we used came from interest rates on long-term 30-yr government bonds plus it's debt rate premium because Marriot's lodging assets had long-term useful lives. After finding the cost of debt for the logding division, we calculated the division's beta of debt which came out to be 1.0233. Finally, we used the beta of debt to find the beta of the division's assets which came to .737.
