Hong Kong's hotel rooms, flights free up - book fast before they go

Article Abstract:

Flights and hotel rooms in Hong Kong became tight even before the scheduled July 1, 1997 transfer of sovereignty. Hotel spaces are always occupied as visitors made multiple reservations and airlines are also expected to open up additional flights mostly in late June and early July 1997. However, Hong Kong visitors must not anticipate that these extra flights will bring discounted fares because some airlines are adding surcharges on their fares and charging nonrefundable deposits, a way in which passengers will be prevented from making speculative bookings.
