Hotel and motel operators, particularly in the central portion of Kentucky, have been busier than usual for early March. Extended power outages prompted many Kentucky families to find a room with electricity. Hank Phillips with the Kentucky Travel Industry Association said the lodging business is seeing an uptick generally.
“Hotels business right now is strong and therefore this weekend’s bookings were already strong and then the outage and the people needing accommodations pushed them, many of them, to full capacity.”
