These tables form part of a justification for measurement by available space, as compiled by analyst Marcel Lindt.
They take three hotels of identical revenue, square meterage, operating cost gross operating profit. However, their
space allocations are different. Space in Hotels A and B exclusively dedicated to rooms, while half of Hotel C’s
available space is used for conferences. In addition, Hotel A has smaller, and more rooms than either Hotel B and
C. Measurement by available room therefore reveals widely varying results in Lindt’s analysis, with benchmarking
by revenue per available space, total revenue per available space, and gross operating profit per available space
yielding more predicted figures.
