Best Hotels for Business Travel Birmingham
As a major city in England’s West Midlands Region, Birmingham serves as a popular travel destination showing the UK’s second-highest growth in international visits after the North West. Most notably, this region attracts a significant number of business travellers with recent statistics stating two out of five visits being for business purposes – the highest proportion of all UK destinations.
Working alongside VisitBritain and Birmingham Airport, local tourism officials are ensuring the region stays as connected as possible by increasing the airline network and launching new initiatives aimed at showcasing the region as an ideal business and leisure destination.
As a result, the Birmingham hotel market is shaping up for steady growth ahead of an expected tourism boosts from the 2021 Coventry City of Culture and 2022 Commonwealth Games. According to PwC’s latest UK Forecast Update, the city has seen some of the country’s highest increases in Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) of 5%.
Despite this growth, Birmingham’s RevPAR remains below the UK’s regional average, proving it to be an affordable yet popular choice for stays. While investment in the region continues to grow, business travellers can expect the hotel market to remain competitive and of high quality, a desirable outcome for frequent travellers.
