Turnover and earnings
TUI Hotels & Resorts posted total turnover of €188m, down 3% year-on-year. This was attritutable to a 7% decline in average revenues per bednight, only partly offset by a slight rise in occupany rates on higher capacity. Consolidated turnover, by contrast, totalled €97m in the second quarter of 2009/10, up 6%. Total cumulative turnover for the first half of the year declined by 7% to €345m, while consolidated turnover grew by 3% to €177m.
At €26m, underlying earnings matched the previous year’s level in the second quarter of 2009/10. The sector benefited from the implementation of cost control measures and a slight rise in occupancy rates across the entire hotel portfolio for the capacity on offer in the period under review. Earnings in the second quarter were impacted by a year-on-year decline in average revenues per bednight of 7%. At €31m, cumulative underlying earnings for the first half of the financial year were €22m down year-on-year.

Riu
Riu, one of Spain’s leading hotel chains, operated 100 hotels in the period under review. In the second quarter of 2009/10, capacity grew by 1% year-on-year to 3.9m hotel beds available. Despite strict cost management, earnings were impacted by lower average rates, in particular in the Caribbean. Average revenues per bednight fell by 8%. Occupancy of Riu hotels remained flat versus the previous year in the second quarter.
Business developed as follows in the individual regions:
Average occupancy of Riu hotels in the Canaries rose by 2 percentage points to 76% year-on-year. In the second quarter, tour operator capacity showed a stable development and contributed substantially to the positive development in this destination.
At 70%, Riu hotels in the Balearics declined by one percentage point year-on-year. Occupancy decreased by 2 percentage points in mainland Spain, totalling 54%. This development in the two destinations was in particular driven by shifts in demand, benefiting the Canaries.
In the longhaul segment, Riu hotels recorded an average occupancy rate of 86%, up one percentage point year-on-year. Mexico and the Dominican Republic saw lower customer bookings. Jamaica and the Cape Verde Islands, by contrast, reported a very positive development of occupancy versus the previous year. However, average revenues per bednight declined by 12%, in particular due to the weakening of the national currencies in the Caribbean.
Robinson
In the second quarter of 2009/10, 18 Robinson club facilities were open. With three new facilities in Morocco, the Maldives and Turkey, capacity rose by 3% year-on-year. While the clubs in Spain and Austria recorded lower occupancies, facilities in Switzerland, Morocco, Portugal and Turkey matched the occupancies achieved in the previous year. Overall, occupancy and average revenues per bednight remained flat versus the previous year.
Iberotel
In the second quarter of 2009/10, 24 of the 26 facilities in Egypt, Turkey, Italy, the United Arab Emirates and Germany were open. At 62%, occupancy of Iberotels was 13 percentage points up year-on-year. This was mainly due to the significant rise in the load factor in the facilities in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. Average revenues per bednight decreased by 2%.
Grupotel
At the end of the second quarter of 2009/10, 13 hotels of the Grupotel chain represented in Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza were open. Grupotel recorded an occupancy rate of 42%, down 7 percentage points year-on-year, on 4% higher capacity. Average revenues per bednight remained stable and were flat versus the previous year.
