The European hotel industry posted positive results in year-over-year metrics when reported in U.S. dollars, Euros and British pounds for November 2013, according to data compiled by STR Global.
“Throughout the recovery, North America has steadily outperformed Europe in terms of demand growth on a 12- month rolling basis”, said Elizabeth Winkle, STR Global’s managing director. “However, in October 2013, demand growth for Europe began to outpace the demand growth of North America and this continues in November as well”.
“Europe, on a 12-month rolling basis has achieved 3.2 percent demand growth during November. In contrast, North America has achieved 2.2 percent demand growth over the same period during November, highlighting where the regions are in their respective cycles”, said Winkle.
