Tudor Court Hotel News Section

A research conducted by PFK Hotel Consultancy Services shows that occupancy in London reduced drastically during the ash cloud crisis. An occupancy drop of 7.6% was registered in April 2010, as compared to April 2009. This steep decline is attributed to the fact that travellers were forced to revoke their plans to travel to the UK capital, owing to the unanticipated calamity.

Despite hotels charging 7.9% higher room rates, the ratio of room occupancy to the average achieved room rate dropped by 0.3% to clock £93.20.

Partner for Hotel Consultancy Services at PFK, Robert Barnard reiterated the fact that hotels in UK have had to bear the maximum brunt of the crisis. However, the overall picture in UK does not portray such a dramatic slide. Hotels outside London for instance, registered an average rise of 1.7% rise in occupancy, but a 3.6% fall in room rates.

Cities like Birmingham have displayed a rise in both occupancy and room rates, while Manchester registered a 2.3% increase in occupancy last month, compared to the same period last year. The average room rates in Manchester, however, fell by 0.7%.
