PKF Hospitality Research, LLC (PKF-HR), the research affiliate of PKF Consulting USA, LLC (PKFC), announced today that, according to its newly released 2012 edition of Caribbean Trends in the Hotel Industry, the average Caribbean hotel that participated in the survey experienced a 10 percent increase in Net Operating Income (NOI) in 2011. This is the greatest annual increase in profits since 2008.
?2011 was the first year since the recession where the Caribbean?s hotel industry posted positive growth in all three major top-line performance indicators,? said Scott Smith, senior vice president of PKFC. In the report, PKF-HR noted a 1.0 percent increase in occupancy and a 5.6 percent increase in Average Daily Rate (ADR). This lead to a 6.7 percent increase in Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) for the hotels in the survey sample.

This, in turn, has caused employment
