Fastest fallers • Five of the top six heaviest fallers were located in the Middle East. The Arab Spring and war in Libya led to a decline in demand from both international travellers and those within the region. Popular Egyptian destinations Luxor and Sharm El Sheikh dropped 29% and 26% respectively. There was also a steep fall in Tunis, where average room rates declined by 28%. • The effects of the political upheaval spread to other cities in the region. The Qatari capital Doha fell by 27%, Beirut dropped 23% and Abu Dubai slipped 10%. These changes were also fuelled by a combination of increased capacity as new hotels opened and the rising cost of flights to the region which kept travellers away. • Travellers to South Africa enjoyed lower prices in the aftermath of the 2010 football World Cup. Popular stadium cities experienced sharp price drops as demand tailed off and hoteliers modified their prices in the face of falling demand. Room rates tumbled 11% in Cape Town, a base for many England supporters. • Far Eastern cities featured prominently in the list with prices falling in Phnom Penh by 23%, Hanoi by 17% and in Manila by 11%. There was a 17% drop in Shanghai as the city’s hotel sector re-adjusted after the World Expo in 2010 and because of greater room capacity from new developments. • The impact of the Japanese earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis of March 2011 hit Hiroshima, down 16% and Kyoto, down 11%.
