MALLORCA TODAY - Balearics had 93.3% hotel occupancy in August

Figures released today place August hotel occupancy rates for the Balearics at 93.3%. So let's see how Mallorca's hoteliers federation spins this news, given its ridiculous statement about a broken economy on account of there not being 100% occupancy in August when 90% has been the average since the turn of the century. Taken with July's occupancy rates (similar to August's), the two months represent the best high season since 2000.

The occupancy in the Balearics was way ahead of the regions with the next highest levels, Catalonia (78.4%) and the Canaries (77.7%). Santa Margalida, for which read Can Picafort, had a weekend occupancy rate in August of 99.4%, repeating previous performance as the tourist zone with the highest percentage occupancy in Mallorca.
