Acapulco Had 52.5% Hotel Occupancy on Saturday

(Acapulco, 18 October) Last weekend, over half the guest rooms in Acapulco were occupied, according to Acapulco’s Secretary of Tourism. The occupancy rates are announced frequently, derived from reports by registered members of the tourist hospitality sector. (A fairly large proportion of places to stay are offered by the informal sector, and there is really no way to estimate their size or their influence on the statistics.)

An additional positive factor for the tourist trade was the presence of the Coral Princess cruise ship in the harbor, which remained until 8:00 pm on Saturday.

The average of 52.5% is composed of the following elements: Diamond Zone, 62.4%; Golden Zone, 52.1%; Traditional Zone, 39.3%. The figures for Ixtapa were 59.2% and for Zihuatanejo, 20.4%.
