UK Hotel Room Rates Plummet
Room rates in the hotels of the United Kingdom, according freshly released figures have plummeted last year by an average of 13 per cent.
Incidentally, the worst of the storm has been weathered in Edinburgh that boasts of the highest hotel room rates in Scotland, with the prices dropping to an average of GBP 95, which significantly is a fall by 6 per cent.
As a matter of fact, the capital of Scotland just lagged three places behind the city that boasted of the most expensive hotel rooms in the United Kingdom; Bath at an average price of GBP 111.
However, the hostile economic condition prevailing in the country in the aftermath of the global economic downturn triggered a slump in the corporate bookings and business tourism. This in its turn has forced a number of hotels to cut their room rates with a view to see empty rooms occupied.
One of the heaviest drop in the rates in the United Kingdom was witnessed in Aberdeen with a 26 per cent slump, which placed it behind Southampton and Belfast.
The drop in the hotel room rates in the country is quiet significant as it has placed Britain at the 13th place in the list of the costliest countries in terms of hotel rooms in Europe.
President of Hotels.com that carried out the relevant survey, David Roche claimed that as the promotions seem all set to carry on for some time yet, 2010 has been boded as another productive year for the traveller.
