HONG KONG - Hong Kong's hotel industry is struggling with a collapse in bookings after thousands of protesters shut down flights from the territory's airport this week in an escalation of months of clashes with police.

Yiu said hotel occupancy rates that averaged 90 per cent in the first half will fall by a third or more and that arrivals from the mainland could slow to a trickle. Mainland residents planning trips to Hong Kong expressed concern about the risks of travelling through the airport. "I feel like my personal safety could be severely threatened if they find out I speak Mandarin or am a Chinese citizen," she said."I won't fly to Hong Kong airport until the situation and protests are settled there."
