Hotel Room Shortage
During the high tourist season - running December through April - some 39,000 tourists were not able to secure a hotel room, according to the National Chamber of Tourism., which claims that there is a lodging shortage estimated at 1,500 rooms.

This is one of the consequences of an unexpected increase in the arrival of visitors, which had been expected to grow by 6.6% between 2002 and 2012, but just between 2002 and 2004 it went up8.94%.

According to the sources, the 700 new rooms expected to be available by the next high season will still be short to satisfy the growing demand.
