The China Hotel Market Sentiment Survey aims to provide Chinese hoteliers with insights into the industry’s outlook and future performance expectations. This 46th survey conducted by Horwath HTL focuses on expectations for hotel performance in the fourth quarter of 2026, covering three key indicators: occupancy rate, average daily rate (ADR), and total revenue. By comparing the latest findings with historical sentiment indices, the survey highlights regional differences in market expectations across China’s hotel industry. In the performance outlook section, the sentiment index reflects respondents’ overall expectations for hotel market performance. The index ranges from -150 to +150, where “-150” represents an extremely pessimistic outlook, “0” indicates a neutral outlook, and “+150” reflects an extremely optimistic outlook.
