Tulum hotels hire more staff due to high occupancy rate

With an occupancy rate above 85%, Tulum hotels have hired more staff and project that tourist arrivals will be maintained at least until May, as has been the behavior in previous years.

“Staff hiring continues, fortunately occupancy has remained above 85 percent, which means that the Riviera Maya continues to be the main destination for national and international tourists,” said Claudio Cortés Méndez, commissioner of the Revolutionary Confederation of Workers and Peasants (CROC), as reported by Noticaribe.

The good occupation also extends to the weekend. On the weekend of the promulgation of the Constitution it increased by 10%.

“Normally from December to May occupancy never drops below 80/85 percent, that means that thanks to the reservations that have been made months in advance, the work force of each of the hotels is guaranteed,” said Cortés.

Hotel development in Tulum is moving forward. Recently, a Spanish asset management company based in Madrid announced the signing of a joint venture with an asset management company to develop a mega hotel complex in the Mexican Caribbean (Tulum: megaproject to build 20 hotels of between 50 and 500 rooms).

Asset Management Spain Gestmadrid has joined forces with Apex Capital to build 20 hotels in Tulum, with work to begin shortly. Specifically, Apex Capital will provide the funds for the construction of 20 hotels of between 50 and 500 rooms in Tulum, according to ‘Desarrollo’.
