During the last three months the island's hotels have had about 10% more occupancy than the same time in 2019.
Hotel occupancy is currently at 85% for August, compared with 75% in August 2019.
Alan Sillett, president of the Hospitality Association, said there was still "some nervousness" for the tourism business next year.

"There is a lot of work to do in tourism to ensure that there is a proper bounce back next year," he said.
