Heavier influx of visitors boosts hotel occupancy in Metro Manila

Article Abstract:

The Department of Tourism reports that hotel occupancy rates in the Philippines for the first seven months of 1997 has risen 11% from 65.39% in the same period the previous year. The Department attributes the rise in occupancy rates to cheaper travel rates in the country. However, the agency has no idea of how the recent curency devaluation would affect the industry since the rates cover the period before currency devaluation began.
