Hotel sector adjusts rates due to tourism decline: Los Cabos

The Hotel Association of the region reported that occupancy during the holiday period remained at 70%, but has now dropped to 65%

As the end of the summer holiday season approaches and the start of the new school year approaches, the hotel sector in Los Cabos has begun to register a drop in the flow of tourists.

The Hotel Association of the region reported that occupancy during the holiday period remained at 70%, but has now dropped to 65%. Lilzi Orcí Fregoso, representative of the hotel sector, explained that the decrease is an expected trend, given that August is one of the months with the lowest influx, and September usually registers the lowest occupancy of the year.

Orcí Fregoso stressed that this reduction in occupancy is natural after the holidays, especially when the school periods begin and the holidays in the United States have also concluded.

Despite the decline, Los Cabos continues to receive tourists, mainly from the domestic market, which contributes to maintaining a significant presence of both national and international visitors in the region.

To deal with the decrease in the tourist flow, the hotel sector has implemented strategies such as offering more affordable rates, adjusted according to demand. Orcí Fregoso explained that, during this season, prices have been reduced by approximately 120 dollars, with the aim of attracting more tourists without compromising the quality of the destination. The average rate remains around 500 dollars, and the strategy also includes attracting business groups, leisure events and weddings to improve the general occupancy of the hotels.
