South Shore reports record occupancy during spring break peak weekends

The League City Convention and Visitors Advisory Board meeting on April 16, 2025, highlighted the successful spring break season for South Shore, with significant occupancy rates reported. The board discussed the impact of weather on bookings, noting that favorable conditions led to high occupancy, particularly during weekends.

During the meeting, it was revealed that South Shore sold out both Saturday nights during the second weekend of spring break, with occupancy rates reaching 80% on Friday night. The board emphasized the importance of weather in driving short-term bookings, especially for weekend leisure travel, which tends to be spontaneous.

The discussion also touched on the demographics of visitors, with a notable influx from the Greater Houston area, including regions from Katy to The Woodlands. Additionally, there was an increase in traffic from Austin and along the I-10 East Corridor towards Beaumont and Lake Charles, indicating a broader reach for South Shore's marketing efforts.

Overall, the meeting underscored the positive trends in local tourism and the strategic focus on attracting visitors from nearby metropolitan areas, which is crucial for sustaining growth in the region's hospitality sector.
