PWC boosts forecasts for recovery in hotel revpar

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) has almost doubled its estimates for the recovery in revenue per available room (revpar) that the hotel sector can expect ...

In May PWC predicted that, following three years of falls, revpar would improve by 4.2% across the country this year. It expected London revpar to rise by 4.5% and provincial revpar by 4.1%.

Now it believes that revpar growth will be closer to 8% this year, led by an 8.7% rise in the provinces and an 8% increase in London. Recovery over the next two years will continue to be led by regional hotels, which will see revpar rise by 10% in 2005 and 9.9% in 2006.

The report suggests that London revpar will not be too far behind, rising by 9% and 8.4% over each of the next two years. But it warns that London’s real revpar rate, when adjusted for inflation, remains at less than £40, well below the 1997 peak of £58.
