Please note that Agoda will coordinate with the government of Hong Kong on specifications and requirements, and information in this article may change or be updated in the future.
Agoda will assist in helping to drive exposure for your hotel to potential quarantine guests.
Quarantine hotels will be displayed via a special link on the Agoda website from January 2021 onwards.
