We have been hearing more and more that it is becoming nearly impossible to find a room in Panama City hotels and now there is statistical proof of the rumour. Panama City came in second place in the world just behind Perth, Australia for hotel occupancy levels.
Perth took first place with 85.1% occupancy, Panama City second with 84.7% occupancy and Qatar third with 84.5%.
This ranking was compiled from a list of 165 cities with the criteria being that the hotels have over 100 rooms.
And it appears that those rooms are being filled with more and more travellers choosing Panama as a travel destination, with a 36% increase over last year in visitors to Panama in the first 2 months of 2008. Some 542,000 people visited Panama during January and February compared with 500,000 during the same period in 2007.
