European capital city tourism study: Management summary OBJECTIVE

ANALYSIS

RANKING

> Tourism to capital cities is a growth driver, outperforming both tourism to countries as a whole and GDP growth

> We use seven criteria to evaluate tourism in capital cities: growth in overnight stays, total number of overnight stays, bed capacity growth, value creation, internationality, accessibility and congresses

> To allow better comparisons, the cities were split into two clusters: Cluster 1 contains the top ten cities in terms of the number of overnight stays in 2010

> The study compares the figures for tourism in different European capitals, looking at current status, growth and success

> Berlin, Stockholm and Ljubljana saw the highest growth in the number of overnight stays over the last five years > London and Paris had by far the most overnight stays in 2010; Berlin and Rome came fourth and fifth > Amsterdam and Lisbon have most overnight stays per inhabitant, followed by Prague > Amsterdam, Lisbon, Stockholm, Zurich, Vienna, Rome and Copenhagen are the top performers in terms of growth in the number of overnight stays in the last five years and the number of overnight stays per inhabitant > London and Prague enjoy the longest overnight stays

> Paris tops the ranking in Cluster 1, followed by Amsterdam, Stockholm, Vienna and Berlin, in that order > Zurich tops the ranking in Cluster 2, followed by Lisbon and Copenhagen

> Ljubljana is the top performer in terms of growth in bed capacity in the last five years. Tallinn and Istanbul follow in second and third place, a long way behind > In terms of value creation in the form of revenue per available room, Paris, London and Amsterdam top the ranking. Prague and Madrid come at the bottom end of the ranking > London and Paris lead in terms of accessibility by air, followed at some distance by Amsterdam and Istanbul > Vienna hosts the most congresses, followed at some distance by Paris and Berlin 111129_Europ Capital City Tourism_final.pptx

COMMENTS

> Interviewees pointed out that cities generally compare their performance to a limited set of other cities > Their selection of cities for comparison depends mainly on performance, size, maturity of the tourism industry and visitor motivation

> Accordingly, we grouped cities into two clusters for the final ranking > Data on revenue per available room, average daily room rate and occupancy was only available for the ten cities in Cluster 1 – the clustering means that we can analyze value creation in city tourism for this group at least

C. Conclusions City tourism is a key growth driver for the economy and professional strategy development is a key success factor

City tourism strategies are available online for just 7 of the 24 capital cities in the study Tourism strategies available online1)

COMMENTS

ARRIVALS

> Only 7 of the 24 focus cities publish a tourism strategy online > Berlin, Lisbon, London and Vienna had professional tourism concepts even before 2005; for Ljubljana, the first document available is from 2007; for Amsterdam and Helsinki, the year the first document was published is not available > Cities publishing a tourism strategy show stronger growth in the number of arrivals and overnight stays > Publishing the strategy is essential for successful communication with stakeholders > Developing and communicating a professional strategy is an area with a large upside potential for most cities in the study

Conclusions (1/3) – Capital city tourism is a key growth driver

> Capital city tourism significantly outperforms GDP development both in times of crisis and recovery > There is a negative correlation between bed capacity growth over the last five years and RevPARs, except in Amsterdam and Stockholm > There is a clear correlation between the number of congresses hosted by a city and the number of overnight stays

> 60 flight connections appears to be the minimum required to attract a significant number of congresses > A surprising number of capital cities do not publish a tourism master plan – only 7 out of the 24 focus cities do publish such a plan > Cities with a published tourism master plan have growth rates in arrivals and overnight stays of around twice as much compared to those not publishing a plan > Capital city tourism is a key driver of growth and should be exploited accordingly

111129_Europ Capital City Tourism_final.pptx

35

Conclusions (2/3) – Growth needs to be managed well in order to be sustainable > In general, cities should publish better data – professional, focused and up-to-date statistics are not universally available > Some cities that have a large number of overnight stays compared to the number of inhabitants need to manage potential friction between local residents and visitors – marketing tourism within the country itself is increasingly important to keep local residents happy and prevent them feeling like they are living in a zoo

> Many cities are trying to encourage repeat visits and attract tourists away from the city's main attractions to other parts of the city > Developing infrastructure is a key element in the strategies of successful cities > Changes in bed capacity are a measure of the success of the city's image and trust by investors – however, excessive growth generally results in low RevPAR for hotel operators and can threaten the survival of their business

111129_Europ Capital City Tourism_final.pptx

36

Conclusions (3/3) – Coordination and professional management is a key success factor > On average, 29% of overnight stays relate to domestic tourism, 55% to other European visitors and 19% to non-European visitors > The share of non-European guests is a good indicator for the city's global attractiveness and resistance to local/regional crises – diversification of visitors > The organizational structures for managing city tourism vary – Berlin has a highly professional DMO1): a public private partnership with a significant share of funding generated by profit-oriented activities > The main barriers to cities developing a tourism strategy are the uncoordinated involvement of a large number of stakeholders, too little responsibility assigned to the relevant body, excessive political influence and self-satisfaction regarding current performance > Capital city tourism offers a large upside potential in most European countries 1) Destination Marketing Organization 111129_Europ Capital City Tourism_final.pptx
