The state of California’s hotel industry outperformed the rest of the nation in the first half of this year, according to The California Mid-Year Lodging Report.
The report by Ernest & Young L.L.P. found that average hotel occupancy in California was almost 70% through 30 June of 2006. That was a 1.2% increase over the same period last year in the state and almost 6% better than the national average for the first six months of this year.
San Francisco had the greatest growth in occupancy. But Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Diego also had better numbers.
The increased business was attributed to a pick up in tourism and convention business.
More Californians are also choosing to vacation closer to home.
