From today (30th), children aged 5 or above must have injections in designated places such as restaurants. The catering industry is very worried regarding this, and family gatherings are bound to be reduced, which may trigger a new wave of graduation. Leung Chun-hwa, chairman of the Hong Kong Catering Management Association, said on a radio program this morning (30th) that “Travel with Peace of Mind” has been implemented for some time, and the new arrangement procedure is not complicated and the operation is simple. Not a big problem. At the beginning of the implementation, no data has been seen for the time being. I believe that we will have to wait and see for one to two weekends before we can judge the business situation. Frontline staff may experience a little stress, but I believe they will be fine soon.
However, Liang Zhenhua expects that the banquet market will be “zero” during the November holiday this year. There used to be hundreds of people for banquets, but the current limit is only 120 people, and the limit is only 8 per table. There is no atmosphere for a banquet at all. He hoped that the government can relax the maximum number of people for banquets to 240 as soon as possible, and the number of people per table will be increased to 12.
