Usually, during the non-season periods – the monsoons, for example — occupancy at hotels range between 50 and 60 per cent or even less
The monsoon has not had any effect on Goa’s hospitality industry. Starred hotels have seen room occupancy of 70-80 per cent in the first month of the rains. July seems bright too. Usually, during the non-season periods – the monsoons, for example — occupancy at hotels range between 50 and 60 per cent or even less.
Today, hospitality stakeholders say that the level of occupancy recorded this June was never so good. “Bookings this time around have been very encouraging.
Southeast Asian destinations where Indian tourists go in large numbers, have not fully opened up for travellers. So Tourists are choosing Goa spend holiday
A 70 per cent occupancy for the monsoon season is indeed good. The summer has not ended for the northern parts of India, so people are choosing to travel to Goa, and room tariffs being on the lower side have boosted the growth in footfalls,” said Ralph de Sousa, President, Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry to TOI-Online.
Another other reason why Goa has been seeing a rise in hotel occupancy, according to de Sousa, was that the Southeast Asian destinations where Indian tourists go in large numbers, have not fully opened up for travellers.
