Και ο Σεπτέμβρης καλός για τα ευρωπαϊκά ξενοδοχεία

Δεν "πρωταγωνίστησαν" η Αθήνα και η Ελλάδα στα στοιχεία του Σεπτεμβρίου, όσον αφορά στους ευρωπαϊκούς ξενοδοχειακούς δείκτες της STR, όπως είχε γίνει το προηγούμενο διάστημα. Ωστόσο και ο Σεπτέμβρης ήταν ένας καλός μήνας για την ευρωπαϊκή ξενοδοχειακή βιομηχανία, με μικρές αυξομειώσεις σε πληρότητες, τιμές και έσοδα ανά διαθέσιμο δωμάτιο. Βίλνιους, Βαρκελώνη και Άμστερνταμ "έσπασαν"" τα κοντέρ.
Ακολουθεί το report του STR.

Year-to-date September 2013, the region reported a 2.2-percent increase in occupancy to 68.2 percent, a 1.5-percent decrease in average daily rate to EUR103.15, and a 0.6-percent increase in revenue per available room to EUR70.37.

“The summer months were very successful in terms of demand in both July and August, with each month setting a new high in number of rooms sold. September was on trend as demand resulted in more than 100 million roomnights sold, a new record since our data collection started”, said Elizabeth Winkle, managing director of STR Global. “Despite this demand, rate only increased in Southern Europe, which was primarily a result of the 2012 low base comparable”.
