Which metric measures revenue generated per available room in a hotel?

• A. Revenue per available room (RevPAR)
• B. ROI
• C. Résumé
• D. Public relations

Answer: (A)

RevPAR measures the amount of revenue generated for each available room, combining occupancy and rate into a single figure. It shows how effectively a hotel is converting room supply into revenue by taking total room revenue and dividing it by the number of available rooms (or by multiplying the average daily rate by the occupancy rate). This makes it the best metric for comparing performance across properties or time periods regardless of size, since it directly reflects revenue per room that could have been sold. ROI is about profitability relative to investment, not per room; a résumé and public relations are not metrics for hotel revenue.
