Hotel Registrations Yet to Recover in January

The Puerto Rico Tourism Company’s monthly report showed a total of 147,763 hotel registrations for the month of January 2022. Compared to January 20021, this was an increase of 34,500 registrations (30.5%). However, compared to January 2020, there were 27,326 fewer registrations, a decrease of 15.6%. After seeing a high number of registrations during the summer of 2021, a similar increase was expected for December and January, traditionally the two most important months for the industry. However, the Omicron wave during December and January had a negative effect on tourism.
