Hong Kong revamps tourism after Labour Day visitor surge

Hong Kong aims to cater to more high-end and non-high-end travelers.

Inbound visitors rose drastically during the Mainland’s Labour Day Golden Week, chief executive John Lee said.

Lee directed the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and related departments to review Golden Week performance and work with industries to improve traveler experience.

“I think we should really gather information about the new travelling patterns of visitors, particularly those from the Mainland, because they represent a big chunk of our tourists, to know about their new travelling patterns, their new needs and new routes, so that we can take good care of them,” Lee said.

In addition, Lee said Hong Kong must be a city that welcomes both high-end and non-high-end travelers.
