Mexico Secretary of Tourism reports best hotel occupancy in Acapulco in a decade

the office of the Secretary of Tourism recently reported that Acapulco has had the best hotel occupancy (97%) level in 10 years, following the 2012 holiday season. The information was reported along with results from the other Sun Triangle destinations, Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo and Taxco, which also experienced high occupancy levels.

"The State of Guerrero has invested millions of dollars into tourism infrastructure, new programs, renovation and rehabilitation programs, and a new tourism initiative focused on the Sun Triangle destinations," said Javier Aluni, Secretary of Tourism for the State of Guerrero. "We believe this strong investment from the State directly contributed to the increased hotel occupancy levels throughout Guerrero this holiday season and we hope to see this trend continue throughout 2013."
