The Nueva Esparta Hotel Chamber expects occupancy of around 90% in Margarita's hotels for the December season and early 2027, MundoUR reported on November 5. The industry body describes a positive trend driven by connectivity and corporate events, noting that scientific congresses have also pushed the growth of health tourism on the island and higher hotel occupancy. The sector foresees an "excellent season" for December and the start of 2027. Ikiratours, Venezuela's 100% B2B DMC and inbound wholesaler, handles inbound operations.

What it means for your agency

Margarita reaches December with the highest occupancy its industry body has reported in this batch: around 90% is not one hotel's figure, it is the forecast for the island's entire hotel stock. For the agency, the practical message is about booking early: at that occupancy, whoever quotes late finds less availability and worse rates, and whoever quotes now secures the room. Demand is also not only leisure: corporate events and scientific congresses bring a weekday and low-season client who extends the stay and fills the days leisure leaves empty.

What to do

Quote Margarita now for December and early 2027, before occupancy tightens availability: combine the island with Copa's third weekly frequency to Porlamar. Net rates for lodging and excursions are on the B2B portal (how to book at /como-reservar), with confirmation within 24 to 48 business hours.
