The average occupancy rate of guest rooms stood at 13.3%, a decline of 79.7 percentage points year-on-year. The rate of guesthouses (13.1%) fell by 10.7 percentage points month-to-month, on account of a decrease in lodging demand by non-resident workers following the adjustments to the quarantine measures.

Local residents became the major source of guests (67.4% of total), a surge of 137.0% year-on-year to 124,000, which also represented a month-to-month increase of 52.4% as hotels continued to offer promotional packages to residents.
