(1) The standard average room rate is defined as revenue per room and is computed dividing total room revenue by the number of gross lettings (paid and complimentary lettings).
Prior to January 1 1994, the Hotel Average Room Rate (ARR) was calculated using projected room revenue based on actual room Cess collection obtained from the Customs and Excise Department.
Subsequently, the ARR was calculated based on actual turnover reported in the Monthly Statutory Return submitted to STB since April 1994. Hence the data w.e.f. January 1994 are strictly not comparable with that of previous years.
(2) Room-nights available for letting and gross lettings are compiled from statutory returns submitted by gazetted hotels to STB.
