1Q 2024 - Business Updates

  • Occupancy declined 1.5 pp year-on-year to 80.4% as some of the portfolio’s hotels continued to ramp-up after exiting the Government contracts in March, October and December 2023.

  • Average occupancy of the SRs decreased 3.7pp year-on-year to 83.3% due to the expiration of a few long-stay contracts during the earlier part of the quarter.
