Lilzi Orcí Fregoso, Executive President of the Los Cabos Hotel Association, emphasized that the robust demand in the destination has driven average nightly rates to exceed $550. This positions Los Cabos among the top-ranking tourist destinations in the country in terms of pricing.
“We are expecting an occupancy of around 88% for this Christmas on the 24th and 25th. 88%, 87%, we hope that they are in all the hotels throughout the municipality, not just in Cabo San Lucas, but in the entire Tourist Corridor and San José del Cabo, in addition to an average rate greater than $550.”
In terms of the municipality’s areas with the highest hotel occupancy, Lilzi Orcí Fregoso, a spokesperson for the hotel sector, noted that the Tourist Corridor, Cabo San Lucas, and San José del Cabo all maintain a relatively equal distribution of tourists in their respective hotels. However, Cabo San Lucas stands out slightly ahead, surpassing the other areas by a margin of two to three percentage points.
“The three zones are very balanced as we divide them in terms of occupancy, they manage almost the same occupancy, each one fluctuates between two or three percentage points in terms of occupancy, with Cabo San Lucas being the one with the highest occupancy. In Cabo San Lucas the occupancy is around 89%.”
