  • Le Marché Hôtelier Au Royaume-Uni ……………………………………………………………
    Le marché hôtelier au Royaume-Uni Par la Mission Économique de Londres Octobre 2002 Document réalisé par Marie BANCAL Revu par Alain GAUGRIS Mission Economique1 de Londres 21 Grosvenor Place - Londres SW1X 7HU Tél. : 00 44 207 235 7080 - Fax : 00 44 207 235 8598 - http://www.dree.org/gb Résumé Le Royaume-Uni est le pays d’Europe où il y a le plus d’hôtels (50 549 en 2000). Grandes chaînes internationales et petits établissements indépendants se côtoient sur un marché atomistique, théâtre de nombreuse fusions et acquisitions ces dernières années. Des chaînes telles que Heritage, Posthouse, Principle ou encore Swallow, sont ainsi passées d’un groupe à un autre, au gré des recompositions de portefeuille. Parallèlement à cette concentration, deux tendances se confirment : la multiplication des franchises et la présence accrue des investisseurs institutionnels. Au niveau de l’offre, après avoir connu une croissance exceptionnelle, le marché des hôtels économiques semble aujourd’hui arriver à maturité. Le rythme des ouvertures se ralentit, les sites intéressants se faisant plus rares, et les concurrents plus nombreux. Les boutiques hôtels sont, au contraire, en pleine expansion. Ce nouveau concept d’hôtels design à taille humaine séduit de plus en plus de clients, à la recherche d’une alternative à la standardisation. Les appart’hôtels rencontrent également un succès croissant. Très répandue sur le continent américain, la formule séduit de plus en plus au Royaume-Uni. La clientèle des hôtels britanniques est essentiellement nationale et d’affaire : les deux tiers des clients sont en déplacement d’affaire et près des trois quarts sont britanniques.

Although the importance of leadership styles has been recognized in practice and academia, little research has focused on the impact of leadership on financial performance in hospitality and tourism industry. Design – The paper first defines motives, leadership styles, leaders’ experiences, and Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC).
