Max Tourism Rating, both airports, hotels empty?

[Leb]

My tourism rating is at 100, I've got loads of hotels to bring in tourists, and loads of entertainment to keep them satisfied. Yet I've got all my beautiful spa-hotels sitting empty, what could I be doing wrong?

[Sax]

not enough docks to bring them in

[Leb]

Would wealthy tourists not prefer airports?

I'll try and smack some docks down.. i already have 8 plus the upgrade that doubles the ships per dock

[doomsday_1986]

Yeah Tourists Prefer Airports, go tnot much of them but that works.

Do the hotels have power?

[Leb]

Yes, powered and have staff.

It's kinda got me broke, I had quite a bit of cash so i splashed down these spa hotels and while 3-4 of them have filled up (all at around 140 effectiveness), there are 6 of em sitting idle just eating up my treasury.

Haven't had the chance to play yet today but I'll try more docks and report back. Also, anyone know how to access the save files? I'm down to upload it if someone would wanna open it up and take a look. It is my best run yet in sandbox

Do you have entertainments? National Park, Stadium, etc.

[Leb]

Yes, at least one of every attraction, multiples of the cheaper ones (cabarets, pubs, restaurants all around)

I got the monkeys in a barrel achievement for 50k made in one year on entertainment buildings

Same problem. Tourism Interest, Rating and Diversity all in the 90s. 4 docks, 2 airports, can't get more than 279 tourists on the island at once. Empty hotels errywhere. ♥♥♥♥'s live, it's popping, but there's empty tables at the casino.

Maybe pollution? Is there a pollution overlay? idk

There is a polution overlay, Idk though. I never figured it out. I eventually went bankrupt for all the hotels I had empty using up income

Tourists have a cap.
Tourist Interest = Max Tourist Families
Tourist Interest = (Tourism Rating + Tourism Diversity * 2) / 3

Tourism Diversity = The sum of your hotel capacity by class but its maxed at 20 per class so if you only build Spa Hotels your maximum Diversity is going to be 20.

Use the Mod Cap Crusher[www.tropicomodding.org] to allow for more tourist families.

Thanks DarthPresidente, I always love getting the real numbers.

Just in case: Your hotel are near to a road?
If you put those too far from the road, people wont use it.
Also be sure you've build enough parking and a bunch of Metro station (with the appropirate power supply, of course)
