Accompanying the graph is the data. This data consisting of occupancy, room rate and yield is broken down by region, the North West, North, and Southern Tasmania and looks at results over the last four years.
Ideally the completed report should be distributed by the thirdWednesday of each month. The report is not only distributed to the participating members, but is valuable information for Government, Tourism Tasmania and the media. There is an additional report which is more detailed including property by region and rate that is put together from the data collected but distribution is restricted to those participants who choose to share their data with other likeminded operators. The response to this report from those who receive it is very positive as it allows each operator to benchmark themselves with the other properties throughout the state included in the report Recently, THA staff have spent many hours reviewing the report including looking at the process of collecting the data, how the data is then inputted and also discussing the look of the finished report. It had been suggested the report, whilst a very useful one, could be the provider of more information to our members other than just historical hence we have decided to trial a refreshed report which will have the same data but include forecasting over the next three months and also include check boxes which will allow us to identify trends and reasons for the shift year on year in the data collected. Reasons could include Easter being earlier than last year, a large event in your area, a new hotel opening in close proximity or perhaps you may have closed part of your property for renovations. These are just some of the ideas bought forward for discussion. The report is under construction presently and we are hoping to have the first one ready for distribution in August with the July results. We will ensure the collection of data for the new report will not take you any more time than it took you to collect the data in the past. We are endeavouring to make this as easy as we can as we understand the demands of running a business.
