STR collects performance data from properties participating in their free Hotel Survey Program, including data on their rooms available, rooms sold, and room revenue. They aggregate this data, allowing them to report on market performance as a whole and more specialised groups.
In Australia, STR draws data from more than 1,600 properties. Worldwide, their network of participating accommodation providers is over 61,000.
STR is also responsible for the Australian Accommodation Monitor (AAM) program, which has replaced the Survey of Tourist Accommodation (STA).
