Original title: Adaptation to serve the epidemic-stricken local Hong Kong hotel industry to explore a way out in the internal cycle
Since the beginning of this year, Hong Kong has been continually affected by the new corona pneumonia epidemic. At the end of this year, another serious epidemic again affected several industries in Hong Kong. Faced with the epidemic, many Hong Kong industries have gradually changed their mindset and explored new ways of survival and development under the epidemic.
The tourism industry is one of the industries hardest hit by the new corona pneumonia epidemic and its ripple effect is widespread, affecting many areas including hotels, retail, exhibitions, logistics, and cruise ships. In this regard, the reporter visited a hotel in Hong Kong a few days ago to learn more about the hotel’s epidemic prevention and registration situation.
Headquarters reporter Liu Zhimin:My current location is a hotel in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. Next to me is an infrared body temperature meter. All persons entering this hotel are required to have an infrared body temperature measurement. The results of all body temperature tests will be displayed on the front desk computer. in. Also, I have a health declaration form handy. Any guest who stays must complete a health declaration form. Only those who meet the conditions can register.
Looking back at the overall business situation this year, Hong Kong hotel professionals told reporters that since the beginning of this year, the overall turnover of Hong Kong hotels has plummeted and the entire industry is almost in a state of winter”.
Hong Kong Hotel Operator Liang Xi:“After the outbreak started, our entire industry, be it the hotel or restaurant industry, went into ‘winter’. In the first half of the year, our entire Hong Kong tourism industry fell by more than 80% and the catering industry fell by more than 50%. “
Headquarters reporter Liu Zhimin:I reached the door of the hotel room now. We can notice that there is a blue seal attached to the door of the room. This stamp has all the cleaning conditions of the room. At the same time, putting the seal also means that the room is clean. No one came in after, so now I’ll use this room card to open the door and see how clean it is.
Upon entering the room, we see that the room is very clean and tidy, the most obvious is that another stamp has appeared, which is on a remote control. According to the hotel staff, the remote control is actually a tool that everyone uses often after check-in. It may be contaminated with some bacteria. Thus, the remote control is deeply cleaned, and at the same time also attached with a seal. In addition to the remote control, we can see a cleaning guide, in which there are ten deep cleaning items, such as a table and a handle on a lever, they are all manifestations of deep cleaning.
To survive the “cold winter”, some eligible Hong Kong hotels have launched local vacation travel packages. In addition to accommodation, the hotels also offer a number of services including catering and entertainment, so that Hong Kong citizens can enjoy the pleasure of traveling locally. .
Hotel guest Mr. Yang“Because I normally travel, I cannot leave Hong Kong now. As long as I have free time, if I had less time before, I could go to the mainland, and if the time was longer, I could fly to other places to travel. Now I have time to accompany Family, enjoy travel-like experiences in Hong Kong hotels. “
Headquarters reporter Liu Zhimin:Now I am in the back kitchen of the hotel, behind me is a nano-sterilizer imported from abroad. We can see that the staff is washing the dishes on the right. After cleaning the dishes, they can go through this machine for about a minute to perform high-temperature nano-disinfection, and then enter the other side of the machine to complete the high-level disinfection process.
The travel industry believes that Hong Kong has been hit by the new corona pneumonia epidemic this year, and the tourism industry is the first to suffer a severe blow. Faced with the epidemic, the industry looks for opportunities to survive in the “cold winter” circulating within Hong Kong.
Yao Sirong, Member of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region:“The contribution of Hong Kong’s tourism industry to the economy accounts for about 5% of Hong Kong’s GDP, but if there is a domino effect, the impact will be very wide. Therefore, among all Hong Kong industries, the Tourism industry and tourism-related industries have been affected. It is the largest. The hotel industry currently relies mainly on local consumption. We are now looking for local vacation packages to attract local tourists to consume, and so we realize the local internal circulation of Hong Kong, which will help some tourist hotels. ” (Headquarters reporter Liu Zhimin, Wang Ying and Ye Lili)
