Committed corporate transient bookings at North American hotels through November 2014 are trending slightly below the pace at this time last year,

and the average daily rate in the segment is up 5.1 percent, according to the December 2013 TravelClick North American Hospitality Review. Group occupancy for the same period is up 5.6 percent year over year, and ADR in that segment is up 2.1 percent. TravelClick executive vice president of business intelligence Tim Hart noted that in December 2013, "the group segment's contribution to [revenue per available room] has surpassed the transient segment for the first time in many months."
