Paul 05 December 2014

hotel3 The Algarve’s hoteliers’ association said today that its members’ turnover rose 10.4% in November compared to last year.

The overall average occupancy rate per room was also 9.2% up on last November, according to the association in its monthly assessment which amrks a significant improvement in the off season market.

The uplift was mainly due to an increase in tourists from Portugal itself, (+25%), and from the good old UK (+7.9%), while the Algarve areas that recorded significant increases were Faro/Olhão (+9.5%), Tavira (+ 9.2%) and Portimão/Praia da Rocha (+9.2%).

And, tactfully left out by our esteemed Ed. is that any Algarve hotel recording above 50% is described as 'Very suspect' ...?

The assumption being that guests leaving the hotel to get a meal or sightsee or even beaten up and robbed ... have been recounted as new arrivals on their return.

Gilda - at the time of writing, I am sorry that your posting has been given the "thumbs down" x2. I personally thought it was just made in jest (just like Ed's comment) and absolutely hilarious. I'm still laughing now . Some people have just had a humour by pass I am afraid!! Lol

Yep, I see like Gilda I have the the thumbs down treatment too already. Whoever you are, take a chill pill! Lol

Dear Editor
I know that you do your best to enthuse our hotelier friends, but to describe an occupancy rate of 36.3% as "bumper" stretches credulity. Do you have even more ecstatic terms to describe higher occupancy rates?

I am informed that 36%+ for November is an excellent performance and one not witnessed in recent austerty Novembers.

Higher occupancy rates for the month as described on the AHETA Viegas Scale are:

37% - 40% 'Stonking'
40% - 42.5% 'Busting'
42.6% - 45% 'Unheard of'
