The Hotel Association of the Northern Mariana Islands reported a 24% average occupancy rate among its 12 member-hotels for February 2022, compared to 5% average occupancy in February 2021. <\/p>\n
A total of 9,767 of 41,093 available room nights sold during February 2022, compared to 1,853 of 34,849 available rooms in February 2021. Average room rates were $136.60 compared to $145.00 last February. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe first phase of the Tourism Resumption Investment Plan Korea program ended in January and, coupled with the omicron surge, the Marianas experienced a dip in demand, which forced air carriers to scale back some flights,\u201d said HANMI chair Ivan Quichocho. \u201cThe TRIP program is slated to transition to incentive-based flights in the months of March to May, provided it can pass all applicable government reviews and approvals.\u201d <\/p>\n
Quichocho also serves on the Marianas Visitors Authority board of directors and as chairman of the CNMI TRIP program. <\/p>\n
Hotels included in HANMI\u2019s monthly statistical report are Aqua Resort Club, Aquarius Beach Tower, Century Hotel, GrandVrio Resort Saipan, Fiesta Resort & 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. <\/p>\n
The Hotel Association of the Northern Mariana Islands 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.
