Brisbane City Council and hotel owners are assuring locals that the council’s hotel incentive is delivering hotel rooms that are in demand across the city, after figures released an average of 1200 hotel rooms have opened every year.
Lord Mayor Graham Quirk says despite the significant number of new 4-and-5 star hotels, the occupancy rate levels are staying up.
The average hotel occupancy rate in Brisbane is around 76 per cent compared to the national average of 71 per cent.
