Tassie hotels rebound

STRONG hotel occupancy rates in Tasmania demonstrate the resilience and determination of the state’s world-class accommodation providers, according to Tas Minister for Hospitality & Events Nic Street.

The Hotel Occupancy Report for Apr shows that 81.57% of available rooms across Tasmania were filled - smashing the month’s strongest-ever figure.

The occupancy figures for the quarter are also up compared to last year, which is a strong signal of confidence in the industry, Street said.
