George's economy runs on hospitality, agriculture, and increasingly on visitors drawn by the Garden Route's reputation. Protea: George sits at the centre of that—catering to the business traveller who needs a reliable night's sleep before a meeting, the touring groups moving between coastal spots, and the leisure guests using the town as a launching point for hiking, wine estates, and mountain activities. The hotel's positioning reflects what George has become: not a destination in itself, but the necessary connector between different parts of the region. It absorbs the rhythm of the area—the weekday business crowd, the weekend families, the seasonal tour operators—and functions as the kind of accommodation that works because it understands the town's role in people's broader plans.

In George, the Fancourt Hotel and Golf Estate is the standout luxury property in the region and internationally recognised — beyond it, the hotel market is largely mid-range business and transit accommodation. For Garden Route tourism, many visitors use George as a base and day-trip to the coast rather than staying in George itself. Corporate rates at George business hotels tend to be well below Cape Town or Joburg equivalents for comparable quality.
