Good news in the hotel industry are never enough: Engel & Völkers and HQ revenue (formerly HQ plus) have released a new sentiment report that outlines the major market trends in the European and German Hotel Industry for 2018. And guess what? We’re in for another great year.
Thanks to a thorough analysis of data provided by HQ revenue on European occupancy data, destination demand, and room prices, the report draws a clear picture of the overall situation in Europe, providing specific insights into the German market.
Expected growth for 2018
The European market is set to follow the global growth trend in the travel industry that sees businesses growing steadily every year thanks to a constantly increasing demand. Last year alone, the number of registered visitors in Europe increased by 8%. And so has occupancy, which has gone up to 71.9%.
The local German market perfectly exemplifies these tendencies, with five of its main cities turning into focal points in terms of hotel growth. Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf all share a high score in the attractivity index despite their many differences.
While some cities like Berlin see their growth in parameters like the transaction volume and RevPAR, other destinations, like Munich and Frankfurt, are enjoying a new growth in demand: all signs of a dynamic market that is holding many promises for the coming months.
