Taiwan Hotel Prices Up, Occupancy Down

According to the Directorate General of the Budget, Accounting and Statistics, prices for a night’s stay at a Taiwan hotel rose by about $4 this year when compared to last year.

Unfortunately, the occupancy rate is suffering. In a bit of irony, the occupancy rate is down 4 percent, which is almost the exact increase of the rates this year.

Occupancy rates in Taiwan range in the mid 60s. International tourists can expect to pay an average of $97 USD per night.

There is a boom in guest houses and rooms in Taiwan. Government officials said there has been a 45%-48% growth so far this year compared to this time last year.

Hualien County experience the most growth.
