The Chinese government announced the lifting of all
requirements for domestic travel from early-Dec
2022; from 8 Jan 2023, inbound travellers (both
foreigners and Chinese nationals) are not required to
quarantine and only need to present a negative test
result within 48 hours of departure
• 2H 2022 revenue and gross profit were 8% and 52%
higher y-o-y respectively, mainly due to stronger
performance and higher occupancy at the properties
.
4Q 2022 RevPAU increased 15% y-o-y and 3% q-o-q
to RMB 287, which is 80% of 4Q 2019 same-store
RevPAU¹, an improvement from the previous quarter
(3Q 2022: 73%)
• The q-o-q improvement in RevPAU was despite a
surge in local infections towards the end of 4Q 2022,
which led to a drop in short stays and transient travel

•
Occupancy remained healthy at above 70% in
4Q 2022; corporate long stays provided a strong
base with an average length of stay of c.7
months
In 1Q 2023, long stays and project groups will
continue to be the primary source of business
and provide resilience to the properties, even
as caseloads in China remain elevated in the
near term, post-easing of restrictions
While the Chinese government had temporarily
halted short-term visa approvals to South
Korean and Japanese nationals, no material
impact is expected on our business given the
long stay base at the properties
