Bristol, Southwestern England's largest city and a major historical port, is a rising UK destination.
Bristol benefits from the ongoing development of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, a 70-ha urban regeneration project with office buildings dedicated to high-tech, low-carbon and creative industries. Most importantly, Bristol's Filton Airport is one of Europe's largest aerospace hubs: Airbus, BAE Systems, GKN Aerospace and Rolls-Royce are settled on the site. The unemployment rate fell since 2010 and stands below 3% as of the end of 2016.
The Bristol area hosts 39 chain hotels offering 5,139 rooms as of January 2017.
