Growing demand for rooms in Inverness over the past five years contributed to an overall increase in occupancy and revenues across the Scottish hotel market, a new report says.
Occupancy rates in the Highland capital grew by 0.5% to 73.1% and revenue per available room (revpar) – the industry’s main performance measure combining occupancy and room rate performance – rose by 3.7% to £37.80, it adds.
But Aberdeen’s oil and gas woes have dragged overall growth levels for Scotland below the UK average, according to accountancy network BDO’s survey of three and four-star establishments.
