Jumeirah Group has announced a 9% increase in occupancy during the first quarter of the year compared to the same period in 2012.
During the same three months the hotel group saw a 9% boost in its average daily rates and revenue per available room increased by 22%.
The UK is the group’s second largest source market accounting for 16.2% of stays, only behind Russia (19%). The group saw a 28.4% increase in room nights booked from the UK during the period.
“The full year of 2012 and the first four months of 2013 have been a tremendous success for Jumeirah. The Dubai hotels have truly benefitted from the continuing attraction of Dubai as a prime holiday and business destination,” said Gerald Lawless, president and CEO of the Jumeirah Group.
The group recently announced it will open a fourth hotel in the Madinat Jumeiah resort in Dubai, located between its Mina A’Salam property and the Wild Wadi Waterpark. The 403-room hotel is due to open at the end of 2015. Meanwhile the group opened its Jumeirah Messilah Beach Hotel & Spa, Kuwait today.
