The successful staging of the FIBA World Cup 2023 in Manila has filled various hotels near the venues of the basketball games, as well as tripled the tourist arrivals from participating countries, according to the Department of Tourism recently.

Data from the DoT-National Capital Region Office said all nine FIBA official hotels in Metro Manila — where most of the FIBA official venues were located — logged a higher average hotel occupancy from 25 August to 12 September 2023.

The report said Conrad Manila near the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City reported a 100 percent average hotel occupancy from those said dates.

Other hotels in Pasay also saw a higher average hotel occupancy, including Hotel101-Manila and Microtel MoA, which both posted 92 percent occupancy; Hilton Manila with 91.8 percent, and TRYP MoA with 91 percent occupancy.

On the other hand, the Grand Hyatt Manila in Taguig also reported an impressive 96 percent hotel occupancy rate during the same period.
