Small Luxury Hotels of the World Increases Bookings
A recent article highlights the success of Small Luxury Hotels of the World:
Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH), which boasts 359 hotels in nearly 60 countries, announced that it finished 2005 with a 10% increase in reservations revenue over the previous year.
“There is no arguing that luxury travel is on the rise,” commented SLH Joint Managing Director Paul Kerr. “As illustrated by our consistent growth throughout 2005, there is high demand for the very best accommodation. Not only will we continue to offer the best properties globally, we will strive to make the booking process much easier and more efficient through our online advancements – always delivering to our guests exactly what they want,” he added.
Overall, arrivals to SLH hotels in Europe were once again strong in 2005 with an increase of over 10% in revenue for travel to both France and Spain. Elevated demand for SLH properties in Paris and the Cote D’Azur in the South of France helped to fuel the growth in France; while the addition of four new member hotels contributed to the reservations growth in Spain. For 2005, America remained SLH’s number one source market making up 60% of the total global business, followed by the United Kingdom in second place.
