Economy / Tourism & Entertainment
The Pittsburgh economy is less dependent on tourism and entertainment than is the average benchmark region.

Our partners at VisitPittsburgh have offered us a view of our region's tourism draw. These four indicators: Revenue Per Room, Occupancy Rate, Average Daily Rate, and Room Inventory show the performance of hotels in Pittsburgh and other city regions of the same tier.

Pittsburgh lodging market performance for March 2013 was less than the same time last year. March 2012 was particularly strong as a result of a number of factors, including strong corporate transient business for local hotels, a major city-wide convention and the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament.

Pittsburgh lodging market performance during the first three months of the year is typically slow. The Pittsburgh market ranked 8th in occupancy rate at 54.2 percent within its competitive set in the first quarter of 2013. However, the Pittsburgh market ranked third in revenue per room and second in average daily rate in the first quarter.
