The Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok expects its occupancy rate to edge down to 50% this year, from 55% in 2008, with the combined impact of local political instability and the global downturn, reports the Bangkok Post.
The five-star hotel estimates that the airport closures last year reduced its occupancy in 2008 from at least 70% to only 55%.
An increase in tourists between February and early April had been expected to improve this year’s occupancy. But after the Songkran protests the hotel cut its projection to 50%, said Rainer Stampfer, regional vice-president and general manager of Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok.
