Tourism industry estimates that up to 70,000 people can return to Hong Kong in hotel rooms
The travel industry said earlier that there are not enough rooms in quarantine hotels, and even if foreign countries switch on and off, it will be difficult to temporarily provide hotel rooms for tourists to return to Hong Kong for quarantine.
Yuan Zhenning, the executive director of Zonghengyou, revealed that the government stipulates that the hotel must hire a disinfection company to disinfect after the customer has completed the isolation. However, the disinfection company will take 3 days to deploy staff and clean it, that is, the hotel can only serve 3 rounds of customers a month.
Based on this estimate, the quarantine hotel has a capacity of 23,000 rooms and can only accept nearly 70,000 people returning to Hong Kong every month.
Yuan said that in the past, August was the peak period for students to return to Hong Kong, and hotel rooms were extremely full. It is estimated that in September and October, there will be more hotels and room types to choose from.
He also revealed that its partner, Dorsett Kwun Tong, will also have full rooms in August.
Therefore, he believes that the isolation hotel room is insufficient: "How many 60,000 people will return to the summer vacation in a month?"
