The Hotel Occupation in Oaxaca reached 70% in Easter

Shocked this Easter with a Oaxaca hotel occupancy rates that reached 70%, in Oaxaca. He posited the undersecretary of Tourism, Pedro Maza Gonzalez that although there were many visitors not occupied hotel rooms because many settled in houses of relatives, was equally surprised at the number of successful occupation.

In an interview, he noted that were more than 30 thousand visitors in the city of Oaxaca de Juarez and that the spilled economic leaving tourism reached 300 million pesos.

Maza Gonzalez stressed that the expectations of the Ministry of Tourism was a 77.8 percent, “then came very close to what we had planned.”

The state official said that the state capital was crammed with tourism. “In the tourism corridor were rivers of people walking, I do not know if they saw the Procession of Silence, yet Garcia Vigil filled, like the walking tour, all the streets were fully.”

– Do abductions that occurred did not affect tourism?

- The image is always to affect matters of this kind, but the people who have decided to come to Oaxaca no longer cancelled, and wine, fortunately. Now, it is very sad to say but the issue of kidnapping, marches and violence are everywhere; long ago that it was not in Oaxaca (kidnapping), then obviously any negative news is not conducive.

– But not really shocked?

- Not really, because there was an occupation of 70 per cent which is what we had expected.

The undersecretary of Tourism noted that achieving the hundred percent of the hotel occupancy is very difficult, “because there are always hotels that do not add to the promotion and publicity, it is sometimes left out of the visitors. Those who have a website, distributing leaflets, which go to certain events, which are promoting, are the first to be filled, there are smaller hotels that have not yet been put in this scheme and to advertise because they are accustomed to expect those who come to them.

He said that on the website of the Ministry of Tourism are currently more than 240 registered hotels, “more than half already have Internet site, and how to connect and has promoted a better way.

It said that in regard to the source of tourists continues with the 90-10 scheme, that is 90 percent domestic and the rest foreign. “Although dependent on hotels, because if we talk about the Camino Real Hotel type the mixture is 50-50, but overall it 90-10.

He argued that Oaxaca is in a process of recovering tourist numbers they had in 2005, “we had lost 350 thousand tourists last year, there was a recovery of 120 thousand and hope that this year the numbers reach 2005.”
