The hotel occupancy rate (rooms sold as a percentage of rooms available) in the county declined 5.3 percent to 55.3 percent in April from 58.4 percent in the year-ago month, according to STR, a Tennessee–based hotel market data and analytics company. It was the third straight month the occupancy rate fell.
