Just when the official high season is due to end, hotels get an extra boost this year with a late Easter holiday.  Many hotels are already fully booked, and most are over 70 per cent booked. Most are also charging ultra peak season prices, particularly for remaining rooms.

Roads to most major tourism destinations look like war zones.   Government employees, and many private workers, will have the entire week of from Saturday April 8th, to Sunday April 16th - a total of 9 days inclusive.
