Per Guest Daily Spend Calculator

ADR only measures the average revenue from room sales. Per Guest Daily Spend (also related to TRevPAR - Total Revenue Per Available Room) is more comprehensive. It includes room revenue PLUS all other ancillary revenue from activities, food and beverage, spa, shop sales, etc. It gives a complete picture of a guest's total value.

Start small. Offer a 'sundowner' drink package for game drives, create a simple menu for private bush dinners, or partner with local artisans to stock your curio shop with unique items. Train guides to be knowledgeable about these extras and subtly promote them during guest interactions.

For all-inclusive packages, the revenue is typically bundled into the 'Accommodation Revenue'. To get a more granular view, you can internally allocate a portion of the package price to different departments. For example, you could assign 60% to accommodation, 25% to F&B, and 15% to activities. This helps you analyze the profitability of each department even within a bundled rate.

This varies dramatically based on your lodge's market position. A budget camp might have a daily spend of $150-$250 per guest, while a luxury lodge could be well over $1,500. The key is not to compare with others, but to track your own spend over time. Is it increasing? Which categories are growing? This internal trend is the most important indicator.

Longer stays can sometimes lead to a slightly lower average daily spend, as guests may have days where they relax at the lodge and don't book extra activities. However, their overall lifetime value is much higher. Use this data to create attractive long-stay packages that encourage guests to stay an extra night or two, boosting overall revenue.
