Hotel Surchage in Hong Kong for Last 5 Days in March-What's Up?
I was checking the rates for the Hong Kong YMCA and they have an additional surcharge for March 27-31, 2010. Does anyone know why? It doesn't seem to be a holiday. The Arts Festival ends March 28. Does it have something to do with that? I am trying to determine if the city will be extra crowded that week, thus something to avoid, or if there is a not to miss event going on. Thanks for your help.

Thanks! I'm glad I asked, I would never have thought of that. I can't say I am a rugby fan. Does the city get extra crowded for this event? Thanks.

The city isn't exactly more crowded. Simply more foreign visitors from places like Australia, England, etc that need hotel rooms.
