Fastest increase in demand
“Demand growth picked up in November, showing the fastest increase in this measure of any month in 2014 so far”, said Elizabeth Winkle, managing director of STR Global. “Our RevPAR forecast for 2015 remains positive in anticipation of the Rugby World Cup towards the end of the year and due to the confidence in a growing U.K. as well as European economy in the coming years.”
