Tourism slowdown in Alicante
By Hans Hamers | February 5, 2009
January numbers are 13.5 percent down on last year.
Hotels in Alicante have 2,800 empty rooms every day because of the current lack of clients. The latest data for January shows an average occupancy level of 31%, nearly 13.5% down on last year at the same time. The low numbers come despite the possibility of reserving a double room in a four star hotel in the city for just 60 €.
Most popular part of the province was Benidorm which reached 50% occupancy, and Elche had 40%, but in Playa de San Juan only 19% was recorded.
The situation is further worsened by a lack of events or work conferences.
