Hotelympia 2010 - The Biggest Hospitality Exhibition in London

Hotelympia 2010 - The Biggest Hospitality Exhibition in London
Hotelympia 2010, held from 28th February to 4th March 2010 at one of the London venues, was a true source of inspiration for thousands of visitors who arrived at the show with the five days display of latest product innovations, practical demonstrations, competitions and various award winning items from the wide spread exhibiting companies.
The managing Director of Reardon Smith, Mr. Conrad Smith gave a slink preview of how the new Savoy will look like. He also narrated the history of the building over the past 120 years.
The question which was raised was that when is the majestic hotel actually supposed to re open. Though the opening date of the hotel was quoted as 2009 but was later postponed to spring in 2010.
A key element of the business efficiency for most of the operators is the sustainability. This serves a high position on the ‘must do’ list for the hospitality industry and thus had an important role at Hotelympia as well. Becoming more efficient is certainly a vital factor to be considered by the hotels industry but along with it, the industry also demands sustainability as an increasingly essential selling point to customers. Hotelympia also showed up the complex subject and presented a showcase of solutions along with new exhibitors, seminars, study tours and workshops in order to reinforce the influence and benefit of a concrete sustainability policy.
The Chef Patron of Galvin Restaurants, Mr. Chris Galvin said, “I believe it is very important for the younger generation to visit Hotelympia, I’ve been going to the show since I was a teenager and it’s provided me with a great deal of inspiration over the years. There is so much to learn and with the exciting new features at the 2010 show, it is sure to be an invaluable, inspirational experience. I encourage my staff, both in the kitchen and front of house to visit Hotelympia to encounter industry innovation and come back to work and put into practice!”

Hotel Market Forecasts for 2010 and 2011

Hotel Market Forecasts for 2010 and 2011

Hotels in London have been predicted to enjoy appreciation in their profitability during 2010 while hotel in other provinces of the UK will see a meager fall in profitability during the same year. They are expected to accelerate to circa double digit growth in 2011.

The managing Director of TRI Hospitality Consulting, Mr. Jonathan Langston said, “Our research indicates that there is a close relationship between movements in room’s revenue performance and total revenue performance for both UK provincial and London hotels. However, our analysis also indicates that London hoteliers have the ability to adjust fixed costs more quickly in response to changes in revenue performance, whereas provincial hotels have been less able to mitigate falls in revenue with cost reduction”

London Forecasts:

In 2009, the dramatic losses in commercial demands were efficiently replaced by the leisure related demand from Europe. According to Visit Britain predictions, there will be a 0.8 percent increase in the figures of inbound visitor this year and TRI has assumed that the leisure demand will remain healthy in 2010.

Growth forecasts said that London is a world famous business hub and hence TRI is expecting some pick-up in the demand from this particular sector.

Langston also said, “In November and December 2009, the London full-service hotel market recorded RevPAR growth as the rebound effect from the credit crunch and recession began to gain momentum”

On the whole, TRI predicts that the market of London hotels will increase RecPAR by 2.5 percent in 2010 chiefly due to the increase in the demand of international commercial as well as leisure levels remaining the same as that of 2009.

The continued increase in commercial demand levels will enable the hoteliers of London to optimize on the higher priced business from 2009-2010 levels as the demand generating economies in the UK and overseas have started exhibiting enhanced levels of growth.

Stay at London Hotels

Grange Whitehall

Accommodation is the first and most important when you are planning a holiday. Staying at a comfortable hotel is what generally tourists look forward to. London which is one of the most preferred tourist’s destinations in the world also hosts several luxury hotels. The city has some or the other accommodations that can easily suit your budget. Be it expensive luxury hotels, small family run hotels or lounge and hostels, London offers a wide range of accommodations to all the tourists. These London hotels are extremely comfortable and offer world class facilities. The city is home to several globally renowned hotel brands. A good accommodation can help you stay stress free throughout you tour and the hotels in London excel in offering a wonderful stay. Although there are plenty of options available to choose from in UK but, here are few guidelines and suggestions that travelers can refer to, while selecting a hotel in the city.

It’s not just about the money that you will spend on the accommodations but, it’s also about the comfort you will be getting. Most of the travelers expect all the luxurious and comfortable facilities to be offered right in the rooms and some might expect a tour desk at the hotel which can guide them while exploring the city. People often conclude that more expensive the hotel is the better are the hotel services but this is not true every time. So you should always compare the facilities offered along with the room rates before booking the hotel. In London, several five star hotels are more comfortable and budget friendly then other accommodations which though are expensive but do not offer good quality services.

London HotelsAt times the accommodation services are much better at the cheap hotels in London than the so called luxury hotels. Thus just don’t go by the size of the hotel or the room rates as this may manipulate your decisions. It is also true that at time the price of the hotel includes the price of the brand name which makes it too expensive.

In a city that is new to you or where you have come for a holiday – comfort should be the first priority. It is one of the most essential factors when planning a holiday. You should always keep in mind that your needs should be fulfilled when you are in your room and whatever services you need are available without extra charges.
