EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
| The UK hotel market generated an estimated revenue of £10.18bn in 2002, an increase of 3 percent on 1998. The growth of the late 1990s has given way to a decline in revenue since 2001, with the market having decreased 7.7 percent over the 2 years between 2001 and 2002. The hotel market can be divided into two main sectors, corporate and consumer. |
| The corporate sector is the most significant in terms of size. Revenue in this sector is not only generated from room nights but also from the usage of facilities, including conference and meeting rooms. Many of the major hotel groups have established separate brands for this market. However, the corporate sector was adversely affected by international events, such as the events of 11th September 2001 in the US, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus, the war in Iraq and a downturn in some global economies, such as in the US and Japan. |
| The consumer sector has fared slightly better and many hotel groups have moved their focus towards the leisure market in order to compensate for shortfalls in business. However, the rise of budget airlines has provided a considerable challenge for the consumer sector, as consumers are now in the position to choose between breaks abroad or domestically and in some cases, there is little price difference between them. |
| The hotel market continues to experience a high level of activity among the major players. Major developments in 2002 and 2003 include: the sale of Travelodge to Permira; a new name — InterContinental Hotels Group — for the demerged interests of Six Continents Group PLC; and the acquisition (and return to private ownership) of Thistle Hotels by BIL International, a prospect that also faces Macdonald Hotels PLC. In addition, companies continue to expand or consolidate their portfolios in line with demand. Investment in refurbishment, as well as for new build, is ongoing and global partnerships continue to feature, such as Hilton in the US. |
| There has been a slight rise in the percentage of the UK population staying in hotels for both leisure and business purposes — three in ten Britons used this type of accommodation in 2003. The largest increase has been in weekend stays for consumers and short midweek stays for business travellers. |
| Key Note anticipates that there will be some recovery in the UK hotel market in 2004, which will be followed by a gradual growth in the hotel industry over the next 5 years. Companies have been pro-active in their approach to the various crises affecting the global travel market and have positioned themselves well in preparation for an upturn in the market. |
