Future Looking Occupancy — Heatmap
Year-on-year change in predicted occupancy across all Australian tourism regions — next 30 days (7 Apr – 7 May) and next 3 complete months
About this data
The year-on-year changes in occupancy represent a modelled view of all tourism-related accommodation types, based on data Localis collates from Property Management Systems (PMS) and major OTA portals. Because this is an average across all accommodation types, figures will likely differ from other sources that draw on a single data stream. Different accommodation providers experience economic shifts differently — for example, a luxury hotel may be less affected by cost-of-living pressures than a 3-star motel, as its clientele tends to be less price-sensitive.

How to read this table: Each cell shows the year-on-year percentage change in predicted occupancy for that region and time horizon. Green indicates demand is tracking above the same period last year; amber and red indicate softening demand. Regions shown in grey have no data loaded yet.
Next complete month refers to May 2026 for regions seeded from the CSV. Regions entered manually from Localis screenshots use the period as shown at time of capture.
Data source: Future accommodation metrics are derived from data collected across Property Management Systems (PMS) and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs). While this data is broadly representative of the overall market, it is important to note that different segments of the accommodation market may be performing differently. For example, luxury hotel guests may be less affected by cost-of-living pressures than guests at other accommodation types, and as a result luxury properties may show higher forward occupancy than the general market figures presented here.
