Coronavirus: limited flights and strict rules blamed for keeping foreigners away from Hong Kong

Expensive airfares, limited flight options and strict quarantine rules are deterring visitors from heading to Hong Kong, despite officials announcing foreigners can travel to the city for the first time in two years from next month, business groups have said.

Hotel operators told the Post on Monday that most of their summer bookings consisted of local residents, as the travel and business sectors called for the further easing of restrictions to bring in more foreigners.
