The Eid Al-Adha has proved a real boon for the hospitality sector in Bahrain with the majority of hotels in the Kingdom reporting a rate of room occupancy averaging 90 per cent.
According to hoteliers and investors in the tourism sector, many hotels in Bahrain boasted a record 100% occupancy during Eid Al-Adha holidays.
They reported a big flux of Saudi visitors, stressing the importance of Bahraini hospitality facilities markets, entertainment venues, parks, restaurants and shopping mall that cater to Saudi families’ needs.
In statements to Bahrain News Agency, they said they expected the buoyancy of the tourism sector to continue until late this week due to extended Eid vacations in most Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
