The resulting competition, which often involves lowering prices in an attempt to provide more value to guests, increases the profits generated. A sharp drop in the occupancy rate as a result of the global economic downturn and fierce competition between hotel operators in a shrinking market have led to a sharp decline in rents for hotel rooms around the world. Competition in Europe has led to low occupancy, and as a result, the average cost of a room has fallen by almost 30 percent in all major holiday markets. Rooms are now sold not only cheaper, but also complete with packages of services such as breakfast, airport transfer or a day trip[ CITATION Opp17 \l 1033 ]. 2.8.
