NFS Technology Group, a provider of software for hotels,
have reacted to survey findings from STR Global which identify Manchester and
Edinburgh hotels as some of the best performing on the continent.
According to STR Global, a company specialising in worldwide
hotel data, RevPAR of 15.3% for Manchester and 10.2% for Edinburgh was
recorded. In total, RevPAR hit €79.78 in Manchester and €99.14 in Edinburgh in
the month of October, helping to drive RevPAR for the United Kingdom as a whole
by 5.9% to £72.52.
On the other hand, ADR and RevPAR for Germany fell by 3.7%
and 2.2% over the same period, while Russia dropped 1.6% and 13.5%
respectively.
Managing director of STR Global, Elizabeth Winkle, said:
“Each month this year, Europe has reported either flat or positive performance
in the three key performance metrics. October performance was no different.
Actual average daily rate (€110.42) for the month was the highest rate we’ve
seen in any October in the past 10 years. Compared to last year, ADR increased
3.8 percent. The ADR growth is driven mostly by Northern Europe, with help from
Southern Europe.
“Year to date, Western Europe still is achieving the highest
actual ADR levels (€117.34) of all sub-regions.”
NFS Technology Group, providers of roomMaster, one of the
UK’s most used hotel software systems, regularly follow related industry news.
A spokesman for NFS Technology Group said: “Our system is
used by 6,000 hotels around the world, many of them located in the UK, so it’s
no surprise for us to see that that hotels in cities like Manchester and
Edinburgh are performing strongly while others are struggling. British hotels
are some of the best in the world and they only get better when you visit the
busier and more historic cities, places like Manchester, London, Edinburgh,
Glasgow and Cardiff.
“One of the ways in which hotels and the hospitality sector
in a more general sense have been able to continue growing in Northern and
Western Europe is that there is a real hunger for innovation, you only have to
look at the number of software solutions like roomMaster in use to see that.”

globe. They have offices in the United Kingdom and South Africa and can provide
