Although the first half of 2009 was OK for the vacation rental market in Piriapolis, the last half of the year and high season 2010 are off to a strong start. Typically, we start booking January and February in August or so. This year, bookings started in May.
This is a nice turn-around when compared with the first half of the year. Although we were booked pretty solidly, we didn’t turn a lot of people away. In contrast, during the first half of 2008, we could have filled far more space than was available to us. For instance, we turned loads of people away who wanted to book the whole month of March.
Perhaps this reflects a global economy which is recovering a bit. At the very least, it’s a clear indicator the fear level that was palatable early in the year is easing.
This is good news for those of us with rentals and an advisory for those of you planning a visit.
Stay Tuned!
