This paper conducts a systematic study of the market development of the hotel industry in Macau under the influence of the epidemic, and statistically analyzes the changes in supply, demand and prices of the hotel industry from 2020 to 2022. It is found that despite the severe decline in the number of inbound tourists to Macau due to the epidemic, the hotel industry in Macau has maintained a relatively stable situation, as evidenced by a small increase in the number of hotel and room operations and an occupancy rate that basically remains at the only major decline was in hotel prices. By analyzing the reasons for the changes in the Macau hotel market in various aspects, a supply and demand equilibrium structure of the Macau hotel market is constructed based on the price equilibrium theory, which can provide a reference for the rapid recovery of the hotel economy in various regions in the post-epidemic era.
