According to data released by Smith Travel Research, Alliance Hospitality's revenue per available room increased 5.8% percent compared to last year, soundly surpassing the Competitive Set as a portfolio for Quarter 1 2013. Year to Date through April the growth continues with Alliance Hospitality revenue per available room increasing 8.9% over last year and 6.7% over the Competitive Set as a portfolio. The majority of the growth was fueled by strategic positioning of rates with Alliance teams and Revenue Management in a strong Occupancy Demand quarter. This allowed Alliance as an organization to control expenses, drive market share and flow much stronger GOP results. Alliance contributed a phenomenal NOI growth of 36% more than this time in 2012.
