Scottish Development International (SDI) announced that the Scottish hotel industry could generate the highest returns in Europe if investors target the luxury-end of the market.
Hotels in Edinburgh had the highest occupancy rates in Europe at 86% and 92% in May and June respectively, followed closely by Inverness.
Edinburgh was rated above all other UK cities (including London) for its hotel occupancy rates as well as other established tourist centres such as Paris, Rome and Amsterdam.
