Briefs | Macau hotels popular during CNY, say analysts

High room prices and full bookings across many Cotai hotels and resorts is an indicator that the territory will welcome a large number of visitors this Chinese Lunar New Year period, noted the research branch of HSBC. It observed that Macau gaming stocks have been trailing the market recently. The city confirmed its first case of the new coronavirus yesterday. However, hotel bookings in the city are seemingly unaffected. Prices for hotel accommodation in Macau during the Lunar New Year period are soaring. Online travel agency Trivago shows that a standard room at Pousada Marina Infante, a four-star hotel as old as the Special Administrative Region, is selling at HKD1,900 per night. At the same time, competitor Agoda shows rooms at the Venetian Macao, amid other Cotai properties, are completely sold out for the first two nights.
