February hotel occupancy surpassed 60% in the Charlotte area for the first time in two years, according to the latest figures from the Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority. February also marked the 16th straight month of Charlotte-area room demand increases. | |||
The CRVA attributes the climb to a steady flow of convention business, (whose attendees often stay at The Westin, above) a trend the CRVA expects will continue into next year. Charlotte February occupancy was 60.8%, up 3.4% from the same month last year. A total of 547,879 rooms were rented during the month, setting a new record for February.
