Year-End Hotel Occupancy in Rio Has Reached 75 Percent
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Hotel occupancy in the state capital of Rio de Janeiro for the period between December 28th and January 1st, 2020 has so far averaged 75 percent, according to a survey released yesterday, December 3rd, by the Syndicate of Hotels of the City of Rio de Janeiro (Rio Hotels).
Regions such as the neighborhoods of Flamengo, Botafogo, Ipanema and Leblon already show a higher level of demand, 86 percent each. For Reveillon (New Year’s Eve), however, some of the city’s neighborhoods have an average of 95 to 97 percent occupancy in five-star hotels in Copacabana, Leme, Arpoador and Ipanema, all in the southern zone, and in Barra da Tijuca, west zone.
Under the theme Amor a Cada Vista (“Love at Every Sight”), which refers to the natural and architectural beauty of Rio de Janeiro, the city’s proposal for next New Year’s Eve is that tourists photograph and film Rio’s landscapes and buildings and publish them on social media, with the hashtag #vemprorio.
In 2020, the city will become the first World Capital of Architecture. The award was bestowed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the International Union of Architects (UIA).
The New Year’s Eve celebration in Rio is expected to exceed the record of 2.8 million people, achieved last year.
