Staycations at hotels

[abbby]

Seems like even with staycations in hotels, it's difficult for hotels to fill the hole of foreign tourists which make up 90% of the customers. Not only that, not sure if locals are willing to stay in hotels with the ongoing pandemic.

The restrictions are still a bit onerous.

Only today Booking.com suggested staycationing. No mention of any restrictions of course.

ST had an article a day or two ago.

A "staycation" with face masks, restricted socialisation & limited hotel services in a city with a pandemic raging, doesn't quite have the same appeal either.

Tourism, Changi Airport, SQ, casinos, hospitality, conferences, events, all basically face a total collapse here these next couple of years. It's an extreme situation for SG.

I wonder when the next round of government subsidies will need to kick in. Either that or regional borders will have to reopen. I have absolutely no idea if the latter will even happen in 2021-2022.

I have a friend (senior consultant type) who sits in on govt think tanks. He says the gahmen is basically trying to pivot from losing 33% of the GDP for years to something else but Josephine stuffed that up.

Have to agree on that, no appeal at all...in fact we'll be worried if we had forgotten to wear a mask out...it happens.
