Only 53% of members surveyed in September said they were confident about future bookings and revenues, compared with 86% as the summer season began in March. Confidence is at its lowest since September 2016.
The downbeat view comes despite 81% of members reporting that revenue had either increased or stayed the same compared to 2016. In addition, 72% said they had visitor and booking numbers similar or higher than July and August last year due to the weak pound.
