Rationalisation in the hotel industry Accommodation is polarising into two distinct types: luxury accommodation and the growing group of budget hotels. Hotel groups are consolidating and rationalising their property assets in order to remain competitive and the increasing number of internet hotel bookings indicates further commoditisation, with many travellers selecting on price.

High potential for car rental services Car rental is picking up steady growth, in line with the growing visitor numbers. Higher passenger values are no guarantee of profitability however, as some large car-rental operators continue to struggle.

On-line players continue to gain ground in travel retail services Retail travel providers are losing share to growing internet-based competition, particularly within highly commoditised short-breaks, with a trend for travellers to book their own flights and accommodation. As a result a steady move of the major UK tour operators towards internet sales is exepcted for the 2005-2010 period.
