Hotel occupancy in Fuerteventura will touch 75 percent

The Fuerteventura Tourist Board foresees an occupation that will touch 75 percent this summer. Almost half of the plant is already open and the establishments that remain closed will open when the September season begins. According to Moisés Jorge, the figures during these summer days will be better than expected, because international and national airlines are beginning to show confidence in the regularity of the flights.

75%!!! now that is some positive spin... how do they get away with saying these things unchallenged, that is more than massaging the numbers a little!

Yep, that's what drinking of lots of positive juice will do to a person 😅
Nobody can see the future so COVID is going to decide lots of things this year, including the hotel occupancy, IMO.

Read the whole thing. Half are open. The half that's open is 75% booked. Okay the spin is positive but the numbers don't seem that way.
