ORLANDO, Fla. – Following the Thanksgiving holiday, some hotels in the area of International Drive said they saw an uptick in occupancy.
One hotel said they were sold out on Friday, with others that said they were 70-75% full over the weekend.
But Keri Burns, the regional director of the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association of Central Florida, said the holiday wasn’t good news for everyone.
In fact, I was so excited to hear that over Thanksgiving weekend, some of our properties had 85% occupancy,” Burns said.
“If Thanksgiving was strong, I would expect the rest of the holiday season to be equally as strong, if not stronger,” Snaith said.
