Hotel Occupancy in Quintana Roo Drops Below 60 Percent

Cancún, Quintana Roo — Hotel occupancy across Quintana Roo reached 57.7 percent for the week of Oct. 17 to 23, according to preliminary figures from the state Tourism Department and industry organizations.

The statewide average masks sharp differences between destinations, with Costa Mujeres posting the strongest performance and Holbox the weakest.

• Costa Mujeres: 68.5%
• Riviera Maya: 58.7%
• Cancún: 57.4%
• Isla Mujeres: 56.2%
• Puerto Morelos: 56.1%
• Tulum: 53.5%
• Cozumel: 49.6%
• Grand Costa Maya: 34.9%

The lowest levels came from Grand Costa Maya, at 34.9 percent, and Holbox, at 29.4 percent. In Holbox, fewer than three of every ten available rooms were occupied during the reporting period, according to the figures released.
