Background

Our Clients were considering the potential for a hotel development on a plot of land adjacent to the airport and railway station. They needed a specialist hotel demand and market study to establish the current and potential future demand for hotel accommodation in the airport area, and to support their early stage planning application process.

Project objective

Our Client needed a qualified, independent report based upon diligent local research and analysis to evaluate the potential for a proposed hotel development on the identified site. The report was required to estimate potential market performance, and to opine on the potential appetite from commercially motivated developers and from hotel operators and brand providers.

• Analysis of market-wide hotel demand, Occupancy and Average Room Rate
• Site analysis
• Recommend optimum hotel product – market positioning, size, scale, mix of facilities
