With the postponement of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit, Cebu City hotels suddenly find themselves with low occupancy rates. Shangri-la’s Mactan Island Resort and Spa saw its occupancy drop to 12 percent last Monday, which would have been the first day of the summit, from the average occupancy rate of between 80 to 85 percent.
With the summit moved to January, the resort has decided to cut prices of its rooms to attract local tourists to its luxurious Mactan Island resort. Sharon Samarista, the resorts’ director for communications, told Sun.Star Cebu that with “the low occupancy, we have to do something.”
The resort’s reduced rates promotion ends on Dec. 21, Samarista told Sun.Star Cebu. The accommodation packages, she said, already include breakfast for two in any of Shangri-la Mactan’s six restaurants. According to the report, Shangri-la’s Mactan Island Resort and Spa is offering its garden view room at a promo price of P6,500 a night.
