Yogyakarta (Antara Bali) - Hotel occupancy rates rose in Yogyakarta to an average of 90 percent during the longer weekend holiday with Bali's Hindu Nyepi on Monday.
The Yogyakarta branch of the Indonesian Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) said some hotels were even fully booked for Sunday.
The 30 star-rated and non star hotels in the Special District of Yogyakarta have occupancy rates averaging 90 percent, Yogyakarta PHRI chairman Istijab Danunegoro said here on Sunday.
Along the most prestigious area of Malioboro of Yogyakarta almost all hotels were fully occupied ahead of the Hindu Nyepi (quiet) holiday.
The increase in the occupancy rate was also attributable to pre election campaigns with political parties busy campaigning to attract more sympathizers.
The country will hold legislative election on April 9 to be followed with presidential election in July . 

 However, January-March is normally a low season in Yogyakarta, which is a major tourist destination in the country, Istijab said.
"It is obvious from the fact that there are very few foreign guests, not more than 10 percent, he said. (*/M038)
