Buoyed by a slight increase in the number of local tourists, hoteliers at the Coast remain hopeful in the sector’s recovery plan despite a recent surge in the number of Covid-19 infections.
Yesterday those interviewed reported a slight increase in booking inquiries for the Easter holidays, especially from local tourists, despite the extension of curfews and other restrictions.
Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala said the hoteliers were witnessing a surge in hotel occupancy. “We are not having international guests at the moment. However, we are seeing a surge in hotel occupancy being taken up by local tourists,” said Mr Balala.
