Business travellers gained up the lion's share of total visitor arrivals because of stringent entry quarantine restrictions. The average occupancy rate of five-star hotels in 2020 plunged to the lowest, especially in February and March. It was also the first time in the past four years that the ADR of five-star hotels dropped
