The UK hotel industry has reported positive results in the three key performance metrics during the second quarter of 2017, according to data from STR.

The UK saw occupancy up 1% to 79.6, ADR rise by 5.2% to £94.22 and RevPAR up by 6.3% to £75.05.

STR analysts note that the devaluation of the pound continues to drive inbound travel and stronger domestic tourism in the UK.

At the market level, London recorded an 8.4% rise in RevPAR to £127.33, due primarily to a 6.4% increase in ADR to £152.70.

The market saw only moderate declines in occupancy following the 3 June terrorist attack at London Bridge. Performance growth soon returned and was boosted around Eid al-Fitr as London typically welcomes a high volume of visitors from the Middle East during the holiday.

Q2 performance growth for Regional UK was lower (RevPAR: +4.8%).
