Despite pandemic variant, Georgia hotel occupancy up year-over-year
Having finally gotten past the delta variant of Covid-19, Georgia hotels took another hit late in the year as yet another Covid-19 variant, Omicron, led to infections surging in the state and causing disruption again to leisure and business travel. Even so, with the state’s occupancy level ending the year at a 54.8%, this is right in line with pre-pandemic years. The desire of people to return to normal can be behind this. Holiday travel was up in November and December in spite of the Omicron situation. Additionally, major hospitality drivers such as conventions and major events were steady in the final quarter of the year helping to minimize the pandemic’s effects. Although uncertainty remains, Georgia’s hospitality industry is anticipated to see a brighter 2022 as life continues returning to a more normal state.
