RevPAR after the cost of winning each booking: room revenue minus distribution costs (OTA commissions, payment and transaction fees), divided by the number of available rooms. Two bookings at the same ADR can be worth different amounts depending on the channel they came through. NRevPAR shows that difference and helps you judge the real value of your channel mix.
