Scotland's hotels outstripped the rest of the UK in both occupancy and revenues last year amid a mixed picture for the sector, according to the latest report by accountants and business advisers PKF.
The annual figures, influenced heavily by a buoyant Aberdeen, show Scottish hotel occupancy was up 0.3% year-on-year to 73.9% compared to 70.7% in "regional UK" and 70.2% in England. Rooms yield (the industry measure of revenue) was down 0.3% year on year at £50.02 compared with £42.43 in regional UK and £41.43 in England.
