The government relaxes the "3+4" entry quarantine, and 4 quarantine hotels are withdrawn for quarantine purposes.
Cui Dingbang, director general of the Tourism Promotion Association and director of quarantine hotel operations, said today (31st) that after the quarantine period was shortened, the room supply doubled, but the number of inbound tourists did not double accordingly. In response to the demands of the company, some hotels switched to providing Staycation services in advance.
He also pointed out that the industry is willing to do "reverse isolation" to help Hong Kong people go north to quarantine in Hong Kong.

Cui Dingbang said on a Hong Kong and Taiwan program that the current occupancy rate of more than 60 quarantine hotels is only about 50-60%. Under the "3+4" quarantine arrangement, the hotel quarantine days are shortened, and the room supply is doubled in disguise. Correspondingly doubled.
In the past 9 days, only about 6,200 passengers entered the country every day. Coupled with the reduction in the number of flights, there were only 40 to 50 flights a day, one tenth of that on weekdays.
Cui Dingbang also pointed out that each quarantine hotel has different considerations. Hong Kong may implement the "0+7" quarantine arrangement in the future. It is not ruled out that some quarantine hotels will be converted to the "staycation" route in advance, and some hotels will be converted to isolation facilities.
He also pointed out that the hotel industry will cooperate with the government and welcome the conversion of "reverse isolation" hotels as isolation facilities for Hong Kong people to go north.

Chen Hengbin: "Reverse isolation" is good for everyone
DAB Legislative Council member Chen Heng-pin said on a commercial TV program that Hong Kong people now have to apply for post-station quotas when they return to the mainland, and then undergo 7-day hotel quarantine.
The DAB proposes to implement "reverse quarantine" in Hong Kong. The quarantine arrangement for returning to the mainland should be carried out in Hong Kong first, which can control or even increase the relevant quarantine quota, and also reduce the risk of Hong Kong people being diagnosed in the mainland. "It is good for everyone."
He believes that Hong Kong's "reverse isolation" facilities must have separate toilets and showers. In addition to the isolation facilities at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and the Loop, Chen believes that hotels in Hong Kong can also be invited to join as dedicated "reverse isolation" hotels.
