This is normally one of the peak seasons for tourism here in Oaxaca. Tourist's dollars, euros, yen, you-name-it, are the mother's milk of this place. Occupancy rates at the hotel are at 20 percent!!!!
This is not good. But this is.
There is still time to come. Where else are you gonna see tree ornaments like this?
Incidentally, the pinata in the shot above is normally a large display of lights.
Austerity in action?

I am glad you brought up the 20% occupancy report as I saw it in the paper this morning and was very surprised at the percentage. Particularly because in mid-November I called about 20 hotels, all in the Centro, for a room from December 29 through January 2 and couldn't get one, all booked.
I had two guesses to explain the low number.
1.There are many hotels with zero occupancy to average to 20%.
2.Today's article referenced this week in Oaxaca and not next week when I needed the hotel.
