Hotel Club reveals top performers in 2011
HotelClub has released its year-end Hotel Index revealing the highest Asian growth cities for Australian members in 2011.
The results look at the largest increases in hotel room night bookings for the first 11 months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
This year Kota Kinabalu, on the island of Borneo, took top spot as the largest growth destination with highest room night increase compared to 2010.
Coming in at number two was South Korea’s second city of Busan followed by Lombok in third spot.
Most of the top 10 destinations saw an increase in average daily hotel rates, but two spots that remained the same or better value for members were Manila, with no rate change year on year, and Mumbai, with a two percent daily hotel rate decrease from last year.
