you may hear “business is bad” from the girl, from the ktv/sauna manager, tour agent, driver and even hotel front desk, my silly opinion this is due to the spread demand.
while there are more and more hotel/sauna/ktv opening up (2 more new hotels to come in months time), the increased of the new supply will taken away the existing demand share. thus, those joints that previously having the good business, surely will be impacted to certain extend.
to me this is a good sign, this prevent the price fom going up again.
from my selfish consumer point of view, the failure of hmtl opening is a good indication. if it is successful, they might aggressively adjust the price higher and there will be more girls to join the higher price category. this will then create the chain effect, pricing for hotel guest room will up, ktv spending up, taxi fee up and etc.
see what happen now, because the response was not positive, no one dare to adjust the price further. and because of the spread demand, those existing joints are getting lesser customer thus it created lesser income for them.
in fact, i see a slight downtrend. my MF girl who promoted to model cat for one month plus, now downgraded herself back to 300 cat. she was saying she can get more customers when she is not model. by playing with her strategy, she would get more income when she sits for 2 customers per night when she is not model, rather than 1 customer while she was model.
mm price (being ktv or sauna), has gone at least by 20% in last few months due to hmtl opening (i must say 20% is a conservative figure...), but it is not everyone can sustain with this high price. for those who cannot survive, for sure have to think about the alternate, like moving to other joint/town/city.
