77 000 guest nights in 2010
In 2010 there were 77 000 guest nights1 in the collective accommodation establishments on Svalbard. Twenty-eight per cent of the guest nights were foreign.
See figure 1 for monthly variations.
About 57 per cent of the guest nights reported holiday as the purpose of their stay in 2010; a share that varies from 80 per cent in May to 30 per cent in December.
The major monthly variation in number of guest nights and minor variation in capacity imply major variations in occupancy rates. In January, 11 per cent of beds and 19 per cent of bedrooms were occupied by guests, and in August the corresponding figures were 49 and 69 per cent respectively. In December, only 14 per cent of the beds and 25 per cent of the rooms were occupied with guests.
Revenue per available room was NOK 473 on average in 2010.
Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR)RevPAR is an important key figure and is defined as lodging revenue (exclusive of meals) divided by number of available rooms. RevPAR expresses potential profit and is an indication of the management’s ability to convert available rooms to income. |
