The Hotel Association of the Northern Mariana Islands reported 24% average occupancy rate among its 12 member-hotels for April 2022, compared to 8% average occupancy in April 2021.
A total of 10,406 of 43,810 available room nights sold during April 2022, compared to 2,811 of 34,160 available rooms sold in April 2021. Average room rates were $139.83 compared to $147.25 last April.
“April marked another month of substantial increase in average occupancy rates,” said HANMI chair Ivan Quichocho. “Not only did the occupancy percentage triple compared to last April, but more importantly, we also had 28% more hotel rooms open than a year ago. This is a clear indicator of hotel operations returning to normal. HANMI is also in full support of Japan market reopening in coming months. Incremental steps like these continue to rebuild our tourism economy.”
Hotels included in HANMI’s monthly statistical report are Aqua Resort Club, Aquarius Beach Tower, Century Hotel, GrandVrio Resort Saipan, Fiesta Resort and Spa, Hyatt Regency Saipan, Kanoa Resort Saipan, Kensington Hotel Saipan, LaoLao Bay Golf & Resort, Saipan World Resort, Surfrider Resort Hotel, and Pacific Islands Club Saipan. The occupancy rates do not include venue rentals at Kanoa Resort Saipan for government COVID-19 quarantine accommodations.
HANMI was established in 1985 as a professional forum for the hospitality industry of The Marianas. HANMI also makes regular charitable donations to support non-profit organizations and tourism-related government projects. (PR)
