Delaware Beaches Hotel Bookings Are Down According To Data
Delaware Beaches Hotel Bookings Are Down According To Data
If you have been to Rehoboth, Dewey or surrounding areas this summer and noticed it’s not as busy as usual, it’s not your imagination. Data from the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce shows Delaware Beaches hotel bookings are down.
Fewer people are booking hotels and short-term rentals this year.
Local businesses are also noticing a drop in sales.
So why is this happening?
Delaware Vacation Homes
By the end of July 2021 Delaware beaches hotel bookings were at a reported total of 3,340. Last year this time, it had decreased slightly to 3,242 total rooms booked.
This year they are already seeing a bit of a decrease in short term rentals, although those totals have not been reported yet.
Delaware Beach Tourism
Delaware visitor statistics have nearly doubled since 1999, which seems to negate the fact that rentals and vacation bookings are down. Are more people visiting for the day? When they come to the area are they staying with family to save a few bucks?
The answer as to why these numbers are lower than usual is not quite clear.
Although, the chamber tracks the number of people who book accommodations. Hotel bookings from the new year to July are down almost 9,000 compared to the same period last year.
