A look at total room inventory vs. Standard occupancy

This article introduces a new room inventory methodology(Total Room Inventory) which is using the number of total rooms in the country/market/submarket versus the lower, the standard room count that excludes temporarily closed rooms. Compared two indexes, Standard occupancy allows to count more accurately but the other gives you a broader picture for your room supply. Both are correct mathematically. You just choose what you want to know based on where you stand for - operators or investor.
