Here we go again! After a noticeable uptick in occupancy levels from October’s annular eclipse, officials with area visitor bureaus say that thousands of out-of-town guests are expected to visit the San Antonio area again for April 8′s
According to Muñoz, 49,000 hotel rooms were available in the City of San Antonio. A lot of those hotels, however, are already sold out, especially those on the Northwest Side where totality will occur. According to Leslie Jones, Publicity and Communications Manager with the Kerrville Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, the city is anticipating to double or triple in population during the eclipse.
“San Antonio has so much to offer to the experience... the eclipse, per se, is only a couple of minutes of an event, but the weekend is full of things to do. Coming in with your family and going to the parks, going to our museums, learning a little bit about history with the World Heritage sites, it’s an all-encompassing experience that you can do in San Antonio, which is not necessarily the case in many other cities,” Muñoz said.
