2014年前6个月创下了客房需求量最高的记录，旅游业持续刺激着就业和经济效益增长。
市长Rahm Emanuel和Choose Chicago主席兼CEO Don Welsh今天宣布，芝加哥7月份酒店入住客房数量超过了100万间。这是芝加哥历史上首次在仅仅一个月内就卖出100多万间客房。7月份的客房需求量上涨1.4%，达到了创纪录数字1,004,557间。
这是继2014年精彩的上半年之后的一个里程碑，2014年上半年创下了最高客房需求量的记录，比2013年前6个月上涨2.2%。芝加哥酒店行业与去年同期相比多提供了313,000间客房。这一增长表明在2014年上半年共有467万间酒店客房被入住，同时支撑了133,000份工作，并产生了超过130亿美金的消费。芝加哥是全球新型酒店发展增长速度最快的市场之一。在2014年上半年客房供应以前所未有的速度增长，上涨4.9%，可供应客房670万。
“芝加哥的旅游业战略并不仅仅是向来自世界各地的游客展示我们很棒的芝加哥市，也是关于为每一个芝加哥人和每一个邻里创造就业和经济机会。” 市长Rahm Emanuel表示，“这些结果显示我们经济的这部分潜力持续为纳税人和居民带来巨大的利润。”
7月份破纪录的表现信号在2014年年底将持续为芝加哥酒店社区带来积极效益。团队游客的上涨刺激了7月份1,004,557间客房需求总量的增长，上涨了9个百分点，增加了328,806间客房。休闲游客需求增长1.6%，增至创纪录的655,783间客房。合约客房需求上涨11.6%，增至19,968间。
7月份的平均每日房价（Average Daily Rate，ADR）在三大游客领域都有所增长，包括休闲游客客房206.91美金，团队游客客房199.31美金，合约游客客房115.93美金。总的平均每日房价为202.61美金（增长4.8%），因此其成为历史上第一个ADR超过200美金的7月。
“来自世界各地的游客正在迅速探索芝加哥市全年能够提供的精彩纷呈的各种体验。我们对这些成果以及对芝加哥总体经济所带来的积极影响感到极其高兴。” Welsh表示，“市长Emanuel和我们的合作伙伴继续支持着Choose Chicago的使命和目标。我们在地区、国家和国际市场上所进行的投资正在发挥着作用。”

CHICAGO SETS TOURISM RECORD FOR JULY WITH MORE THAN ONE MILLION OCCUPIED HOTEL ROOM NIGHTS
First six months of 2014 deliver record demand that continues to grow jobs and economic benefit from tourism
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Don Welsh, President and CEO of Choose Chicago today announced Chicago surpassed the one million mark for occupied hotel rooms in July. This is the first time in the city's history that more than one million rooms have been sold in a single month. Total room demand for July was up 1.4% to a record 1,004,557 room nights.
This milestone follows an exceptional first half of 2014 which produced record demand with a 2.2% increase over the first six months of 2013. Chicago's hotel community offered an additional 313,000 room nights compared to the same period in 2013. This growth represents 4.67 million hotel rooms occupied in the first-half of 2014, which further supports the 133,000 jobs and more than $13 billion in spending generated as a result of annual visitation to Chicago. Chicago is among the fastest growing markets in the world for new hotel development. Supply grew at its fastest pace on record in the first half of 2014, advancing 4.9% to 6.7 million available room nights.
"Chicago's tourism strategy is about more than showing off our great city to visitors from around the country and globe, it's about creating jobs and economic opportunity for every Chicagoan and every neighborhood," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "These results show the potential of this part of our economy to continue to return significant dividends to taxpayers and residents."
July's record performance signals continued positive results for Chicago's hotel community through the end of 2014. The total room demand of 1,004,557 room nights in July was supported by the Group segment which grew 9.0% to 328,806 room nights. Leisure demand grew by 1.6% to a record 655,783 room nights. Contracted room demand was up 11.6% to a record 19,968 rooms.
The Average Daily Rate (ADR) in July increased across all three segments, including Leisure at $206.91, Group at $199.31 and Contract at $115.93. An overall ADR of $202.61 (+4.8%) was the first ever July to exceed a $200 rate.
"Visitors from around world are quickly discovering the tremendous experiences Chicago offers year-round. We are extremely pleased with these results and the impact on Chicago's overall economy." said Welsh. "Mayor Emanuel and our partners continue to support the mission and goals of Choose Chicago. The investments we have made in the regional, national and international markets are working."
