750,000 travellers visited Hong Kong for CNY holidays

650,000 of the 750,000 visitors came from Mainland China.

Hong Kong welcomed 750,000 visitors during the Lunar New Year holidays from 10 to 13 February.

“The night parade on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the fireworks display on the second day, the horse race on the third day and the soccer match on the fourth day yesterday were all well received and further boosted the festive vibes,” Secretary for Culture, Sports, and Tourism Kevin Young said.

650,000 of the 750,000 visitors were from Mainland, higher than the 640,000 record during the same period in 2018.

During the four-day period, about 1,200 inbound tour groups involving 40,500 travellers visited Hong Kong, exceeding pre-pandemic figures.

In addition, the overall hotel occupancy rate reached 90%.
