Are these the cities of the so called 'old' Europe or the cities of the fast growing 'emerging' economies such as Istanbul and Moscow? What will be driving the growth? What obstacles do they face? Will the glut of new hotel rooms built in the boom years prove difficult to digest?

PwC's UK hotels forecast | Bumper crop for London but leaner pickings in provinces http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4053134.html http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4053134.html Wed, 28 Sep 2011 16:01:39 +0200 In March when we published our last forecast I expected that the economic outlook would have shown signs of brightening by now, but if anything the omens today look worse and the risks to UK GDP growth are firmly to the downside. Notwithstanding this, our forecasts for 2011 and 2012 hotel performance are substantially unchanged from March and, with nearly nine months under the belt, 2011's forecast outturn looks pretty much assured, particularly for London.

Activity in the lodging sector has recovered to a similar footing as broader travel and tourism, though a pricing gap is evident. Hospitality business leaders will monitor how pricing unfolds, recognizing that the pace of recovery can change quickly.

According to this forecast, temporary factors, including inclement weather conditions and reduced defense spending that contributed to slower-than-expected economic growth during the initial months in 2011, are expected to unwind, supporting stronger growth in the second half of the year. This combined with sustained business investment and improving consumer spending, is expected to result in a 3.2 percent increase in real gross domestic product (GDP) in 2011.

UK Hotels forecast 2011 and 2012: How big a party for hotels in 2012? | PricewaterhouseCoopers (Adobe PDF Document) /file/152004529.pdf /file/152004529.pdf Mon, 07 Mar 2011 18:03:56 +0200 What a difference a year makes. This time last year PwC* forecast 5.8% RevPAR growth for London in 2010 and 7.7% for 2011. In September we revised these upwards in light of strong trading to 8.9% and 9.3% respectively. The outturn for 2010 was even better than that, closing an exceptional year for London with overall RevPAR growth of 11.4%. This was mainly due to strong ARR growth, taking nominal RevPAR above £100 for the first time since we started forecasting in 2000. Given the better than expected finish to 2010, our 2011 forecast for London is now for slightly lower RevPAR growth of 8.3%, reflecting harder comparatives and above average levels of new supply; slower growth but no pre-Olympic dip. The good news continues for UK hoteliers | PwC Reports http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4049096.html http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4049096.html Mon, 15 Nov 2010 14:36:59 +0200 There was more good news for UK hoteliers in September, according to analysis by PwC, as the business travel revival continued to boost trading. The return of the business traveller in recent months has been a positive factor for UK hotels. This in turn helped drive a strong Q3 performance, with London and provincial hotels turning in better-than-expected results. London back on the podium as hotels smash occupancy records http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4048369.html http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4048369.html Tue, 21 Sep 2010 12:12:55 +0200 Improving economic conditions, the return of the business traveller and international demand should lift the London rate seven per cent for 2010, with the average room rate (ARR) for the Capital reaching £124 (up from £116 in 2009). This should boost a 2010 RevPAR gain of almost nine per cent. PwC UK hotels update: Two-track recovery continues: provinces may need a jump-start (Adobe PDF Document) /file/152004322.pdf /file/152004322.pdf Thu, 05 Aug 2010 16:43:18 +0200 At just past the 2010 half-way stage, against continued economic uncertainty and looming public spending cuts, we take a look at whether the recovery is still on track or likely to be de-railed; the first-half reality for the UK hotel sector and the prognosis for demand in the second half of the year. We also summarise the latest economic data and re-visit what the scale of the new public sector cuts mean for hotels – there’s a lot to lose with public sector travel procurement estimated to be worth around £3bn.
