The article states that hotels in popular tourism areas such as Phuket, Chaing Mai and so forth are reporting 80 to 85% occupancy, whilst previous years have checked in at 90%. However it does state that price reduction has played its role. Tourism destinations are reportedly faring better than business destinations however.
