Revenue earned by Scotland’s hotels outstripped the remainder of the UK during October although ‘healthy’ figures masked “widely differing performance levels” across the Scottish industry.
Room yield, the industry measure of revenue, was up 5.5% in Scotland, ahead of a 1.3% increase in Wales and a 1.2% rise in England, according to accountants and business adviser PKF.
Total occupancy rates in Scotland reached 79.4% in Scotland, while regionally occupancy and revenue increases in Aberdeen and Glasgow offset decreases in Edinburgh and Inverness.
PKF did not produce data specific to either Perth or Dundee.
