The decline in occupancy came as supply (+4.4%) outpaced demand (-3.7%) for the third consecutive month. STR analysts note that occupancy and ADR levels were higher than usual during the Latin American and Caribbean Agriculture congress (23-26 October).

STR analysts attribute the mixed performance in São Paulo to corporate demand and group events being pushed to September to avoid the election period in October.
