Deloitte reports today that based on data from STR Global, European hotel demand has experienced an upturn since October 2009, before pushing into positive territory in December 2009—up 4.2 percent. Results for January 2010 also show a 3.3-percent increase in the region against January 2009. Deloitte cautioned against a robust rebound, however. Read the rest of this entry »
