Best Western maintains growth in Australasia

Best Western Australasia has maintained consistent growth in the Australasian marketplace, despite the continuing uncertain economic situation.

The annual report released to members today outlined Best Western’s financial position for the year 2009/2010.  

Best Western Australasia Executive Director Rob Anderson said, “Overall, measurable business delivered to Best Western properties increased in both occupancy and average rate. Whilst growth has slowed compared to previous years, the results are still positive in view of the volatile market conditions and their impact on travel trends”.

In other areas, there was also positive news. Guest satisfaction scores increased along with increased repeat visitation and  membership satisfaction scores have continued to grow, with “proud to be part of Best Western” and “managing brand quality” being the two highest scoring categories.

Best Western has strengthened the services it offers to members with the introduction of a New Member Manager and a Property Revenue Management service. Both programs have received high praise from members.

Anderson continued, “We are working even harder to maintain our increase in bookings and to ensure our members (property owners) businesses continue to grow. We have increased all our marketing activities and are offering our members industry-leading training courses that help maximise their skills and property revenue”.
