North West hotels cutting costs to stay profitable, finds report
- Moore and Smalley’s annual Hotel Benchmarking Review, which examines the accounting data of over 50 hotels across the region, recorded a marginal increase in average net profit for hotels in spite of an average drop in turnover of five per cent.
According to the report, which compares figures for 2011 with the same period in 2010, hotels have managed to achieve this slight upturn in profit even with increased staff costs, suggesting that significant cuts are being made elsewhere.
Judith Dugdale, head of the leisure and tourism team at Moore and Smalley, said while it was good to see hoteliers being prudent, hotel businesses had to guard against cutting costs too deeply, especially in areas such a marketing and investments in product quality.
