Momentum Expected to Continue Through April and May Providence, RI - Once considered the “shoulder season” for travel in Rhode Island, spring in the Providence/Warwick area is shattering that notion, with strong numbers posted for March and healthy projections for April and May. Hotel occupancy in Providence hit 72 percent and Warwick jumped to 67.1 percent. Both cities also showed a double-digit occupancy increase over March 2014, with Providence up 10 percent and Warwick 15 percent. Room rates in both cities also were up, with Providence seeing a 9 percent year-over-year increase to $148 and Warwick a 6.7 percent increase to $88.15. “More rooms occupied at a higher price point means more tax revenue for Rhode Island,” said Martha Sheridan, president and CEO of the Providence Warwick Convention & Visitors Bureau.
