00:03I got some bookings from Mexico, which is there.

00:10is the Europe bookings is also there.

00:14Because traditionally for us, that's

00:15been the biggest source market.

00:23Bookings have been for us.

00:25That has been great.

00:26So it will be a mix for us.

00:27So no doubt we are going to do good in the range of 95%

00:34occupancy during the Qatar FIFA World Cup.

00:48Yeah, November 20 to December, it's coming in between that.

00:53What is going to help is it's going

00:55to help in terms of the rate.

00:57You see, traditionally, it has been a very high occupancy

01:05period.

01:06But then with FIFA also coming in,

01:09you could find us all doing a little of yielding business.

01:13So yeah, we would be able to yield

01:14on our average daily rates.
