Miami Hotel Occupancy On The Rise Since August

Resorts in the Southern region of Florida showed their increases in occupancy for last month, as more Florida residents stayed closer to home and hurricanes steered clear.

However, up until last month profits had stayed pretty steady when compared to those of 2006, according to hotel CEO's and Smith Travel Research.

One Florida hotel, the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa located in Hollywood, has 998 rooms and it was able to show how evident these increases were from last month. As more people stayed in the hotel, the average price of a room grew as well when compared August of 2006, according to spokeswoman Michelle Schulman.

Miami hotel visitors do not seem to be as worried about the heat as they had been during previous summers. Not to mention, as gasoline prices increase and residential property values go down, more and more American families get rooms at hotels.

Over in Broward County, Smith Travel calculated a rough estimate of 64% for August occupancy, which was a 6% rise from August of 2006. Not to mention, the price of a room averaged at roughly 98 dollars, which was a 9.1% increase.

New Business Brings Together 10 Florida Vacation Rental Companies

As more families choose "alternate lodging" in the Central Florida area, some of the top companies have come together to raise awareness of what the Florida vacation rental home experience can do for a family's vacation, particularly in the Orlando area. This company, Discover Vacation Homes, is the 1st of its kind that is committed to increasing consumer awareness of the vacation rental home experience.

"Vacationers to the Orlando area are generally unaware of the wonderful value and opportunities a vacation home offers," mentioned Steve Trover, the president of DVH. "By uniting together and forming an association to promote the vacation home industry as a whole, we can create awareness of the industry, the benefits offered by our members' properties and the overall perks of staying at a vacation home versus a hotel."

While vacation rental homes are old news in other parts of the U.S., like Myrtle Beach, many renters are not aware that they even exist in the Orlando market. Not to mention, Orlando has over 700 vacation rental businesses and roughly 20,000 vacation rental homes, with Discover Vacation Homes' customers representing almost 13% of the market. Made up of Central Florida's top vacation rental home businesses, DVH aims to raise awareness of the industry, and have high expectations for non-members that are visiting member vacation homes.

Remember Disney World The Next Time You Visit Florida

Florida stands strong with some of the greatest tourist sites around the globe, specifically for those who want a great travel destination to bring the family to. People of all ages come to Florida because it has many options for an exciting vacation. From beautiful scenery to high-quality accommodations and excellent entertainment, a vacation in Florida is a great way to relax and escape from reality.

Of course, one of the most common attractions that Florida offers for a family vacation is a visit to the infamous Disney World. Disney World is recognized around the planet as a major attraction for people who are both old and young. Not only does it provide exciting entertainment within its various theme parks and attractions, it also has thrill rides as well as a beautifully groomed golf course.

If you want to stay close, Disney World gives you the availability of spending your nights at a luxury hotel within the complex. On the other hand, if you wish to make your own reservations elsewhere then you can still plan to spend a couple of days of your vacation at the complex. If you have not yet taken a trip to this world-renowned theme park, then I suggest that you keep it in mind when you plan your next vacation.

Florida Condo Rental Reincarnations

Roughly twenty years ago, the real estate market in Florida had many old condo hotels that were not of high quality or prestige. Changing tax laws resulted in having less attractive investments and several remodeling projects were dropped.

During the late 1990's, The Mutiny was built, which was an apartment building that reinvented the condo hotel concept, according to Joel Greene, who happens to be the president of Condo Hotel Center.

Owners of the Mutiny apartment building in the Miami area tore up their old property and created a condo hotel, or condotel. The idea of condotels was now well known in the area and it generated a competitive situation for its buyers.

Prices grew as much as 10 times the previous price from the beginning until there were no more available units. Other firms began using the idea, creating a brand new Florida condo rental out of an older one.

"Today there are approximately 60 or more condo hotels at various stages of development in Florida," stated Greene. "By 2008, there will be several hundred condo hotels, located throughout the U.S. and around the world."
