WHILE THE ISLAND’S overall tourism product continues to struggle, some hotels are reporting 60 to 100 per cent occupancy levels for this Christmas and New Year, which form part of the winter tourist season.
The season officially begins around the start of December and closes about the end of March the following year.
The majority of those hotels contacted by the MIDWEEK NATION also indicated that most of their guests were repeat visitors. And while they include people from around the world, most were from source markets such as Europe, Britain, Canada, the United States and the Caribbean.
Sharon Hugh-White, general manager of the Bougainvillea Beach Resort, said they were experiencing a full housefor the Christmas and New Year’s periods.
