UK Chain Hotels Market Review - December 2010

The full year 2010 shows strong profit growth in London but stagnation in the provinces. London hotels showed a double-digit increase in profits, according to the 2010 figures in the latest HotStats survey from TRI Hospitality Consulting. The performance in the provinces, however, was less robust with Gross Operating Profit per Available Room (GOPPAR) dropping by 1.4%. This compares to the 13.9% rise in London.
