The Association of Hotel Owners on the Costa Blanca, HOSBEC, published a report on the 03 June outlining the results achieved by the organisations members for the month of May. According to the report Benidorm hotels posted a slight improvement in occupancy rates compared with the previous year. In 2009 the occupancy rate was 74.2% and this year that increased to 74.7%. This half point increase was achieved in spite of the fact that in the last two weeks of the month the occupancy rate was slightly less than the previous year at 77%, down from 77.6% in 2009. Nevertheless, in the first fortnight of May, 72.5 of every 100 beds were occupied, almost two percentage points higher than the year before.
The figures supplied by HOSBEC show that in the second fortnight of the month the overnight stays were distributed equally between domestic guests from Spain and those from other countries. Among foreign guests the highest percentage came from the United Kingdom, which remains the “most important” international market representing 37% of the total stays in Benidorm.
