While the number of people traveling to and from Heathrow Airport have increased, the hotels space around the airport has not kept up with the growth. Because of the lack of hotel rooms close to the airport, Lord Laidlaw has decided to collaborate with the construction company Rokeby Development on a 70 million pound project that will create two new hotels. Laidlaw, one of Scotland's richest men, has planned a 600 room hotel connected to Terminal 5 and another hotel close by.
Because of the sheer numbers of people passing through the airport, there is always a shortage of hotel rooms in the area. This concern was expressed and Lord Laidlaw and Rokeby Developments decided to work on remedying the problem. Terminal 5, the first of the two new hotels to open, will help the area move toward a time where there is not a lack of available hotel rooms. Lord Laidlaw and Rokeby Developments believe that with the completion of their projects, there will be no shortages. Even when Terminal 5 is fully operational, however, there will still be a need for more rooms due to the increasing numbers of people traveling through Heathrow.
Terminal 5 is likely to improve both tourism and the infrastructure of the capital, including hotel development. Both new hotels will be a boon to those looking to travel to London for the 2012 Olympics. Since this large group of people will all need somewhere to stay, competition for accommodations is likely to be fierce. People traveling to London with the intention of attending events like the Olympics are likely to want to spend as little time as possible traveling to and from their hotel or sightseeing and more time at their events. For those people, accommodations close to the airport are ideal.
London is one of the top destinations for international travel. 2006 was a record year for overseas visitors to London and hotels in the area have had their strongest performance levels since the late'90s. Due to the current market for hotel accommodations in the area, Lord Laidlaw and Rokeby Developments are very likely to have success with their hotel ventures.
Because of the need to accommodate the growing number of passengers, the airport and the surrounding area is going to need to expand in areas like parking, hotels, and the number of flights available. This is likely to cause debates with those anti-expansion groups, such as HASAN, that oppose such growth. However, if the airport is going to see 80,000 extra passengers per day, accommodations such as increased parking space will be necessary.
The new terminal has greatly increased the capacity of Heathrow. When the 4.2 billion pound new terminal opened in March 2008, the capacity of the airport increased by 30 million passengers a year, taking the total number of passengers to 90 million. There are several things that are going to have to happen as a result of the increased number of travelers, not just an increase in the number of hotels. Transportation links are a necessity, including trains, buses, and Heathrow Airport London parking. - 29977
