Canary Islands lead in hotel occupation
New figures published by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (National Statistics Institute) in Spain, reveal that the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and the community of Valencia, head the list for hotel occupation during the month of April, with figures of 67.16%, 64.92% and 60.50%, respectively. The average nationally, during last month, was 55.75%.
Before we get too carried away with the mutual backslapping, bearing in mind that Easter fell into April this year - which is one of the occasions when tourist season begins to hot up on these islands - you have to ask the question why we need any new hotel beds approved, when, at best, we can only fill two thirds of the ones we've got at such a relatively busy time.
