SAN ANTONIO – The visitor and tourism industry, hobbled by the pandemic, saw a welcomed increase in the hotel occupancy rate in March thanks to NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament and spring break.
Richard Oliver, a spokesperson for Visit San Antonio, said 65% of the city’s hotel rooms were booked in March, compared to only 15% at the most in March 2020.
Although it’s not quite like the 80% occupancy rate San Antonio has seen during spring breaks in the past, Oliver said, “It really encourages us now as we look forward and are bullish about the summer period.”
