For each category, I matched the three old price points (low/mid/high) to the new chart’s 1st/3rd/5th price point as proxies, so this is directional and not weighted by booking volume.

I’m aware you could calculate this differently (e.g., weighting by typical booking patterns), but I think this approach is still a legitimate way to quantify the overall shift in the published tables.

Not great, but context matters: U.S. CPI-U is up roughly ~20% since 2021, and U.S. hotel ADR is up roughly ~30% over the same period.
