The designated quarantine hotel "is hard to find a room", and there is suspected speculation recently, and some visitors to Hong Kong have arrived in Hong Kong with false quarantine hotel occupancy certificates.
Some people in the industry said that if a passenger is found to have a false reservation document, they will call the police, but will try to arrange to stay in a small number of spare rooms in the hotel.

Chen Yuanyan, manager of the Hotel Owners Association, said in Hong Kong and Taiwan's "Millennium Times" that the designated quarantine hotels in July and August were "very full". In previous years, the summer vacation was a golden period, but this year, the supply and demand situation is even tighter, due to the shortage of international routes in the mainland. Some mainland tourists choose to go to Hong Kong for quarantine before returning to the mainland. In addition, Hong Kong people have begun to travel abroad, and they still need to undergo seven-day quarantine after returning to Hong Kong, which further increases the demand.
Chen revealed that since the government launched designated quarantine hotels, some tourists have been found to have invalid hotel reservation certificates. It is not ruled out that they have been deceived by travel agencies or intermediary companies and made false reservations.
If the hotel finds a false reservation, it will report to the police because it involves false documents and criminal elements, and the passengers concerned will try their best to arrange to stay in a spare room, usually only one or two, originally reserved for the guests who have already stayed due to room problems (such as water leakage) , power problems) transfer room use.

Travellers should visit reliable and reputable websites, or book hotels with licensed travel agents, she suggested.
Regarding the suggestion to allow people returning to Hong Kong to be quarantined at home, Xu Wang Meilun believes that allowing Hong Kong people to isolate at home will help ease the tension in quarantine hotels, and encourage travel, which is a good thing for the industry. .
She also pointed out that those returning to Hong Kong have been vaccinated and tested negative at the airport before being sent to isolation. She hopes that the quarantine period can be shortened to three days.
