Hurghada hotel occupancy rates reach 100% during summer season

Hotel occupancy rates in Hurghada have reached 100% during the summer season, with some hotels reporting being overbooked, Chairman of travel agency Global Travel International Ali Okda tells Al Shorouk. The market in the resort town is rebounding due to better security perception, but Okda says the lack of Russian charter flights is still expected to affect tourist activity in Hurghada after the summer season ends. Hurghada hotels are also struggling to bring their prices back up after having cut prices significantly to bring visitors back after the slump in tourism.
