The United Kingdom goes from being the country with the greatest restrictions to leading the hotel occupancy
As the Smart Travel news platform points out, the United Kingdom goes from being one of the countries with the most restrictions to the country with the highest hotel occupancy, with the fourth consecutive week maintaining an occupancy of 68% according to STR data up to July 18. As indicated by the data analysis, the occupancy level has grown during the weeks that go from July 12 to 18, rising by 63.5%, however, it still does not reach the occupancy levels reached during the comparable week of July. 2019 (84.5%).
As Thomas Emanuel, Director of STR, explains, demand is driven almost exclusively by leisure, as the UK has benefited from a successful vaccination program, a gradual reopening and improved general traveler sentiment. .
But this positive progress has not only been made by the United Kingdom, other countries such as Ireland (54.3%), Spain (53.7%), France (51.4%), Italy (51.1%), Poland ( 50.1%), Switzerland (44.0%) and the Netherlands (43.6%), have maintained a constant increase in hotel occupancy, but all below the levels of the United Kingdom, and thus displayed in the following table.
This analysis shows us that in general still has a long way to go, but that despite the adversities, tourism still remains firm and against all odds it continues to raise small positive points, which we hope will increase with the applicability of the vaccines and new policies imposed by governments.
