Policy Address

Tourism

22.         Tourism is one of our economy’s pillar industries.  However, an excessive number or over-concentration of visitors may exert pressure on Hong Kong.  The Government completed a comprehensive assessment of our capacity to receive visitors at the end of last year.  The healthy development of the tourism sector can create a large number of jobs for lower-skilled workers and facilitate the diversification and growth of our economy.  We must expand our receiving capacity, focusing on high-spending visitors, to achieve the greatest economic benefits with limited resources.  We must also take appropriate and effective steps to ensure that the daily lives of our people will not be affected.  The Working Group on Convention and Exhibition Industries and Tourism under the EDC has pointed out in particular that we must devise and implement a visionary plan for the “Kai Tak Fantasy” project at the Kai Tak New Development Area, a precious tourism and entertainment resource.  In addition, with the commissioning of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge in the near future, we will actively study the possibility of building more hotels and leisure tourism facilities on Lantau Island.
