Introduction Locum Consulting has been commissioned by Lincolnshire Tourism, on behalf of Invest Lincolnshire and the Greater Lincoln Partnership and six district councils in the county, to produce a plan for the development of the serviced accommodation offer in Lincolnshire. Locum has produced three outputs from this work: • Development Strategy and Action Plan (this report) – this is intended to be the main document to be used by those stakeholders who are endeavouring to plan for and encourage hotel development in the county. • Summary Report – this is for the benefit of the wider range of stakeholders with an interest in the sector and what has been recommended. • Market Overview – this is intended as material to be used to provide potential investors with an overview of the market conditions, the current provision and some of the opportunities. This report contains: • An overview of national trends and how they impact on Lincolnshire. This includes case studies of types of hotel that Lincolnshire might seek to promote the development of (there are others in other parts of the report). • An assessment of the current provision across the county and in different parts of it, how it has been changing, and what the key development opportunities seem to be in different parts of the county. • An action plan. • A list of hotel companies that are known to be active in the UK currently. The Summary Report forms the executive summary to this report and has not been repeated here. Locum Consulting J0895/Matt Hyslop/13/1/12/serviced visitor accommodation in lincolnshire - development strategy and action plan (april 2009).doc Page 7 J0895 Lincolnshire Hotel Development Strategy 2. Summary of Action Plan This report essentially deals with two issues – the type of development that the county could benefit from and for which there could be demand, and the locations where that opportunity might take place. Sections 3-4 deals concentrates largely on the first of those, and Sections 5-9 deal with the second. They are each cross-related to the other. Each section has suggested actions. This section summarises them. 2.1 Hotel and Pub Excellence Programme The core recommendation for short term intervention by the public sector is to establish a scheme that is aimed at helping independent proprietors of hotels, guest houses and pubs that potentially could have rooms, to achieve excellence. Our suggestion is that it takes the form of a small group of experts, perhaps covering interior design, food, business planning and sustainability, with an allocated number of days that they can spend providing advice. Their time would be provided to operators that are interested and committed to making investment to implement advice (perhaps supported by some grant funding). The vision is that these experts would truly be experts i.e. they would be professionals with a demonstrable track record of excellence and imagination. There could be a competitive process in allocating the expert time (and associated grant funding).

  • Quarterly Newsletter – Q2 2014
    30 Warwick Street London W1B 5NH www.jll.com/hospitality EMEA Quarterly Newsletter – Q2 2014 Industry Trends • According to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), demand for international tourism remained strong in the first four months of 2014. International tourism arrivals grew 5%, the same rate as full year 2013. Prospects for the current peak tourism season remain very positive with over 450 million tourists expected to travel abroad in the May-August 2014 period. • Destinations worldwide received 317 million international overnight visitors between January and April 2014, 14 million more than in the same period of 2013. This 5% growth consolidates the strong increase registered for 2013 and is well above the long-term trend projected by the UNWTO for the period of 2010-2020 (3.8%). • The strongest growth was seen in Asia and the Pacific and the Americas (both up 6%), followed closely by Europe and Africa (up 5%). By sub-region, Northern Europe, South and Mediterranean Europe, North Africa and South Asia (all up 8%) were the star performers. • In terms of tourism expenditure, growth continues to be strong from emerging markets, in particular China, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia and India. Furthermore, demand from advanced economies is strengthening as the global economic situation gradually improves, with encouraging growth posted for Italy, Australia, the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. • According to the UNWTO confidence index, prospects remain very positive for the period May- August 2014. Confidence has picked up, particularly among the private sector, and improved further in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific and the Middle East.

  • A PROFILE of HOTEL INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP – a 10 YEAR REVIEW Aethoscg.Com Page | 0
    AETHOS CONSULTING GROUP AETHOS CONSULTING GROUP YEAR REVIEW CEO TURNOVER STUDY 2013: A PROFILE OF HOTEL INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP By Chris Mumford, Thomas Mielke, Nina Gold A recent study surveying 2,500 of the world’s largest public companies, covering all industry sectors, reported 14.4% CEO turnover (the 5-year average stands at 13.9%) – in comparison, our 2013 study of the hotel sector revealed turnover of 10.0% and a 5-year average of 10.8%. Notably, changes in leadership within the hospitality industry have predominantly been planned as opposed to being forced or as a result of death or illness. Over the last 10 years just shy of 60% of CEO movement was the result of considered forward-thinking planning by the board. Yet, we have seen a slight increase in the numbers of forced CEO exits – it appears, especially in Europe, public companies’ shareholders have been quick to demand change in the face of diversity. It will be interesting to see whether this is just a reflection of the relatively uncertain economic environment of the past three to four years or it there is a change of mentality. The following paragraphs look at the past 10 years and the changes that the hospitality industry has seen at CEO-level – where do they come from, what sets them apart and what are their qualifications….? Step-by-step, the following pages will paint a picture of our industry CEOs and profile the individuals who are leading the hotel sector around the world.

  • Business Travel, Hotels, and Environmental Sustainability
    BUSINESS TRAVEL, HOTELS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY An exploration of business travellers’ environment-related practices at the travel destination Wouter Geerts Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of London 2014 Department of Geography Royal Holloway, University of London DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Wouter Geerts, hereby declare that this thesis and the empirical work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: -2- ABSTRACT This thesis explores what evidence there is that business travellers engage in environment- related practices (ERP) when they are at their travel destination, and evaluates what scope there is to expand the uptake of pro-environmental practices. Research at the intersection between environmental behaviour and flying has been undertaken before, but to my knowledge no published research has covered the practices of business travellers at the destination (in situ practices). The opportunities for business travellers to make pro- environmental choices, but also the influence of corporate and hotel structures on these choices, deserves further investigation. To better understand business travellers’ in situ practices, empirical research was undertaken in London, UK, with three groups of stakeholders that are involved in business travel, namely hotel managers, individual business travellers, and to a lesser extent their employers. This source triangulation allowed for an understanding of in situ practices from the perspective of different integral actors, and enhanced the research’s reliability and rigour. Interviews were carried out with 34 business travellers, 22 London hotel managers and 4 company representatives, and business travellers were observed in hotel settings.

It contains a brief history of the PSPA and its relevant planning policies, details of the various development sites and provides contacts where further information can be obtained. The PSPA is centred on Paddington Station and the Grand Union Canal Basin, and now contains recently completed mixed use developments and sites awaiting development. Together these make up the largest development area within Westminster and a site of strategic importance in London. There are major development and transport projects underway as well as new proposals being made for the area. The Special Policy Area status for Paddington was introduced by the City Council in 1988 in response to the need to recognise the impact on the area of considerable development pressure on a number of major sites. The PSPA is also recognised as an area of existing good public transport accessibility.
