Latest Tourism Report for North East England is Available

The latest survey and roundup of regional tourism information - Tourism Intelligence Report July 2008 - has just been released.

The report, which is published each quarter, summarises the latest research, statistics and investment news to give a clear picture of the tourism industry in our region and comparisons with the rest of the UK. It provides UK and global trends and finishes with indications of how businesses can use the information to tweak their own performance.

July's report shows:

B&B and Guesthouse bookings are up in the region, compared to the same quarter last year (not a general trend - Edinburgh, for example, has seen a fall in advanced bookings)
The North East, along with the South East, has the highest serviced occupany levels across the UK, at 54% averaged from January to May
Frontdesk businesses have taken £850,000 worth of bookings in our region so far this year
Investment has not slowed down in the region - 24 new developments have been identifiied over the last three months, many of which are accommodation developments
Self-catering occupancy is down nine percentage points, compared to the same period in 2007
Two thirds of attractions have seen a fall in visitor numbers compared to April - June 2007
