Formosa International Hotels Corp (FIH, 晶華國際酒店集團) and FDC International Hotels Corp (雲品國際), two major hotel operators based in Taipei, reported that their revenue slumped last month from a year earlier due to COVID-19-related capacity limits and social distancing requirements.
FIH, which operates the Regent Taipei (晶華酒店), the Silks Place (晶英酒店), Just Sleep Hotel & Resort (捷絲旅) and several independent restaurants, posted a combined revenue of NT$357 million (US$12.73 million) for last month, down 28.55 percent from a year earlier, the group said last week.
Capacity reduction requirements affected revenue recovery, even though the number of local COVID-19 infections has dwindled, it said.

FDC joins Po Yuen Ji in launching banquet hall

Taiwanese hotel and restaurant operator FDC International Hotels Corp (雲品國際) has signed a management contract with tea vendor Po Yuen Ji (寶元紀) to launch a new 100-table banquet facility in Taichung next year, unfazed by the current business freeze caused by the domestic COVID-19 outbreak.
FDC runs the Palais de Chine (君品酒店) near Taipei Railway Station, the Fleur de Chine Hotel (雲品溫泉酒店) overlooking Sun Moon Lake (日月潭) in Nantou County and several independent banquet facilities.
