Workers in the tourism sector said that Alexandria tops occupancy rates owing to its proximity and the relatively easy trip there compared to other coastal cities. The occupancy rate has increased to more than 70% in the past few days, chairperson of San Giovanni hotels in Alexandria Wassem Mohi El-Din said. Marsa Matrouh and Sidi Abdel Rahman will top other areas next week in terms of the highest occupancy rates. In the Red Sea, occupancies have increased significantly, according to Tarek Shalaby who is a member of the chamber. Hotel occupancy rates in Hurghada range between 70-75% at the moment.
