More than 60% of small and independent hoteliers in the Mediterranean say bookings are rising faster than at any time in the last 12 months.
The second quarterly report of 2021 from the Boutique Hotel Barometer of independent hoteliers revealed owners in Greece and Spain recovered the quickest between April-June, with about 80% of hoteliers seeing higher booking levels above the previous year.
Proving the previous slow-burn recovery is now gaining rapid momentum for the boutique hotel market, only 15% of owners said bookings were ‘worse’ or ‘much worse’ than this time last year – and compared to an 82% high in winter 2020.
