Hotels and short-term accommodation providers in Europe enjoy strong demand due to the continent’s well-developed tourism sector and significant number of holiday destinations that cater to various consumer needs. European residents often holiday domestically or go on trips to other European countries due to how quick and easy it is to travel to them. Rising domestic and international tourism has fuelled accommodation demand across the continent, though companies have faced strong competition from short-term lets. Revenue is slated to inch downward at a compound annual rate of 0.1% over the five years through 2025 to €202.8 billion, including an expected 0.2% drop in 2025. Despite the numerous popular holiday spots spread across Europe, including Spain, Italy and France, hotels and other holiday accommodation providers weren’t prepared for the catastrophic drop in tourism caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The easing of travel restrictions in 2021 and 2022 drove revenue back up, supported mostly by heightened domestic tourism due to heightened consumer confidence and a trend towards staycations. International travel recovered and drove up occupancy rates and RevPAR, especially in the upscale and luxury segments. Since 2022, though, severe inflation and heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainty have squeezed consumers’ budgets, limiting spending on holidays. European hotels and short-term accommodation providers face intense competition, putting pressure on prices and RevPAR. The popularity of online booking platforms like Airbnb has played a big part in increasing competitive pressures. To attract potential guests, accommodation providers are adopting dynamic pricing strategies and investing in enhancing the customer experience through innovation and differentiation. The use of advanced technology and the wellness tourism trend have shaped the industry’s focus. Nonetheless, intense competition and elevated operating costs like rent, purchases and wages have constrained profit. Revenue is forecast to swell at a compound annual rate of 2.5% over the five years through 2030 to €229.3 billion. A mounting number of international guests and strong demand for domestic holidays will drive growth. Climbing disposable income and wealthy international tourists flocking to European destinations is set to stimulate spending on upscale hotels and holiday accommodation. Regulatory crackdowns on short-term rentals in many European countries may ease competitive pressures, while escalating consumer demand for sustainable travel is driving providers to adapt. Innovation, sustainability and guest-centric strategies will be key to capturing market share and responding to evolving traveller expectations.
