February Visitor Numbers Up

Aloha Kakou: February's average daily room rate increased $21 this year, up to $257 compared to last year. Occupancy was also up to 83.5%, compared to last February's 77.7%. Maui's number of Canadian visitors was up almost 20% this year as compared to 2010. While the state as a whole will be affected by declining visitor numbers due to Japan's crises, Maui and the Outrigger Maui Eldorado will not be greatly impacted as the number of visitors from that country has always been a very small part (about 5%) of the overall visitor picture. http://mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/547984/February-visitor-count-goes-up-again-but------.html?nav=10
