Dynamics at Denver International Airport Assist
Hotel Demand and Lift Investor Sentiment
Historic levels of travel poised to maintain recovery momentum. In 2023, Denver International Airport (DIA) added five new domestic destinations, a direct route to Dublin and resumed passage from Tokyo, helping set a new record-high monthly passenger volume count last July. Expansionary efforts at DIA have proven successful in their local economic impact, totaling $36.4 billion over the 12-month period ending in last July, with momentum expected to continue.

Annual occupancy is set to come within 220 basis points of its 2019 mark this year, while ADR and RevPAR each reach new highs.
