Hotels in Leeds are continuing to buck the economic trend, says a new report.
PKF Hotel Consultancy Services shows an increase of 6.2 per cent in the city's occupancy rates for July 2008 compared with the same period last year.
Commentators said the performance was buoyed by international visitors travelling to the city for the World Corporate Games and domestic holidaymakers decided to spend holidays closer to home.
The average room rate has increased from £68.53 in 2007 to £71.30 in 2008 while the revenues made on each room has gone up from from 51.62 per cent to 57.04 per cent. Leeds outperformed York, where occupancy growth rose by 2.6 per cent, and Sheffield, which reported losses of 9.4 per cent.
