Southampton is establishing itself as a top-class cultural destination and is rapidly becoming a place where people choose to spend their leisure time.
PwC recently ranked Southampton as the second highest English city for good growth, the most improved of any other city between 2012 and 2013 - and fourth overall out of 39 UK cities.
With 3.5 million people within a 60 minute drive time, 1.5 million cruise passengers passing through the port each year, 6 million journeys through Southampton Central Station and 37,000 students at two leading universities; Southampton has an existing profile that will be attractive to many in the hospitality sector.
Confidence in the city continues to grow and is exemplified by Southampton's ambitious City Centre Master Plan which, once realised, will create over 24,000 new jobs, 5,000 new homes and generate £3 billion of investment.
Hotel development has a key role to play in the regeneration and economic growth of Southampton and its future development as a cruise port and visitor destination.
